Russian Salmon Protection!

[BRFFF]

Now, in a nation with a dreary environmental record that is engaged in a rush to extract its resources, the peninsula's governments are at work on proposals that would designate seven sprawling tracts of wilderness as salmon-protected areas, a network of refuges for highly valuable fish that would be the first of its kind.

That's interesting.  In 5 years, we may be flying to Russia, instead of Alaska, to fish for salmon.  It's great that they are taking action to protect at least some of the salmon streams.
