Klamath National Wildlife Refuges, CA & OR

The Klamath is the greatest wetlands in the West and one of the most important places on Earth for birds. It's a place so important, so beautiful, so full of history, and so exciting in its potential for restoration, I think it's the most compelling conservation issue in the US. I carried out what is perhaps the most comprehensive photo documentation of the Klamath Refuges in existence. There's a lot to see here!
