But the local Tlowitsis Nation has no interest in a world without salmon. How will they use environmental DNA to crack the case and restore their struggling sockeye salmon population?
From invasive crabs to lost whales, tapping into the world of environmental DNA can be the key to solving some of nature’s biggest riddles. Join us as we crack the code on nature and unlock mysteries in our newest series, The Nature Files.
