"Ecoterrorism, also called ecological terrorism or environmental terrorism, destruction, or the threat of destruction, of the environment by states, groups, or individuals in order to intimidate or to coerce governments or civilians. The term also has been applied to a variety of crimes committed against companies or government agencies and intended to prevent or to interfere with activities allegedly harmful to the environment."

Klamath River June 16, 2021 for downriver salmon	Klamath Lake June 16, 2021 for suckers	Klamath Basin wildlife refuges June 6, for 433 species of wildlife	Klamath Basin farmland June 2021, 433 species of wildlife decimated, $400Million lost revenue, bankruptcies, more than 120 domestic wells effected means no water for drinking, food, livestock and farms,

Before the Klamath Project was built, there were up to 30 feet of water where our farms are now. It was a navigable lake. That's why on our deeds, signed by US President, we were deeded 2+ acre feet of water for our crops, as all the runoff we pump uphill, at our expense, out of our closed basin and into the Klamath River. We reuse it up to 7 times.
The Project provides hundreds of miles of habitat in canals, 50% of wildlife feed comes from our farms.

Klamath River often went dry in the fall before the Project was built.

President of California Waterfowl Association Ph. D. Robert McLandress, UC Davis ecology, 2001:
"There are (433) species of wildlife here; the (biological) opinion deals with three."
Here in the Pacific Flyway, Klamath Basin is "...the most important waterfowl area in North America..." Waterfowl eat "...70 million pounds of food here...," and more than half comes from the farms. HERE FOR AUDIO.
