Restoring Lahontan Trout in Nevada

April 12, 2014 By: Erin Block

An unlikely coalition of partners in Nevada (including miners, ranchers, government agencies, conservation groups) are working to restore habitat for native Lahontan Trout, which presently occupy only eight to nine percent of their historic stream range and less than one percent of their historic lake range.

“Our role in the fish’s demise is precisely what gives hope for its recovery,” explains Zeb Hogan on NewsWatch, “we know that our activities can have tremendous influence on aquatic environments, but it’s up to us to decide whether our influence is positive or negative, restorative or destructive.” Via National Geographic.
