We have some exciting news. Starting on February 20, leaders from around the world will meet at the United Nations, where — after nearly 20 years of negotiations — they could finalize one of the most important protection measures in ocean history: the High Seas Treaty. We’ve been doing everything we can to move the treaty forward, which is why Only One is teaming up with Greenpeace, the High Seas Alliance, RISE UP, and Jane Fonda to deliver our High Seas petition to key decision-makers at the start of the conference. But in order to maximize our impact and secure the future of our ocean through this treaty being agreed, we need your help to raise the volume on this effort to new levels. Add your name to the High Seas petition — we are so close to reaching our goal of 200,000 signatures.
Restore salmon in the Snake River.
Wild salmon are among the Pacific Northwest’s original residents. Their historic abundance and influence on the region is difficult to imagine today — feeding endangered orcas, birds, other fish and wildlife; building legendary forests, delivering ocean-sourced nutrients across millennia to the waters and lands of the Northwest. And since time immemorial, Tribal nations have shared a deep and reciprocal relationship with salmon.
Unfortunately, salmon and the many benefits they bring to Northwest people and ecosystems are at risk of disappearing today. Many populations have already been lost. Of those that remain, many swim on the brink of extinction.
After decades of advocacy, the Nez Perce, other Native tribes, and conservation and fishing advocates have opened a critical window of opportunity to protect and restore wild salmon populations through one solution — breaching dams in the Lower Snake River.
