Protecting the Land for Future Generations

The Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Reservation have seen significant changes due to changing climate conditions. Climate Change has affected the natural and cultural resources that are an important part of the tribe’s history and culture.

The Tribe is taking action to enhance their resilience. It is relocating beaver populations to higher elevations where they can live and thrive and bring multiple benefits to both people and wildlife. Involving youth in the process helps enhance their understanding of how climate change is affecting the environment and what the tribe is doing to respond to those changes.
