Activity: make a pledge

Read and discuss some key takeaways from The Last Salmon Run visual story, such as the effects open net pen salmon farms, climate change, or salmon hatcheries has on wild salmon populations.

Now, with these takeaways in mind, create your own personal Pledge stating how you will help to conserve wild salmon.

Here’s an example to get you started.

I ———————————, in the spirit of wild salmon conservation do solemnly pledge:

• To cut out farmed salmon in my diet

• To tell my friends about why wild salmon is important and the difference between wild, hatchery and farmed salmon

• To be aware of the effects of climate change on salmon

• To think twice before fishing for at risk species such as Chinook and sockeye salmon

• To actively participate in local conservation efforts that help support wild salmon populations

• To encourage others around me to learn about wild salmon and participate in conservation efforts that help protect them
