Column: The fate of wild salmon may point to the fate of the planet

MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • March 22, 2020

Best-selling author Mark Kurlansky in his latest book, “Salmon: A Fish, the Earth and the History of Their Common Fate,” makes a blunt prediction: If what’s left of the world’s wild salmon stocks are allowed to die off, there is little hope for the planet’s overall survival. The right fix, says Kurlanksy, lies in rethinking the notion that economic development trumps all things environmental. ~ Christine Burns Rudalevige
