During this panel, we explore the history of the campaign for the removal of four of the Klamath River dams, the recently observed benefits of dam removal (as of October 2024), and lessons from the dam removal process that can be replicated in other parts of the United States and the World. During the webinar, we also give an update on our coalition's activities and ways to get involved in advocating for free-flowing rivers on an international policy level.
