COP26 Salmon School: Call to Action

Wild Salmon Center is joining with artists, community organizations and salmon NGOs from around the world to inspire and activate the global leaders at the United Nations COP 26 climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland. The catalyst is “Salmon School,” a massive form of 350 hand-blown glass salmon which will swim above climate delegates’ heads in the dining area in the conference hub.
Our shared hope is that Salmon School will help push policymakers to see salmon, climate change and a livable future as inseparable issues. With a mirrored interior, these glass forms reflect the viewer and ask them to contemplate the dire threat that salmon and other wildlife populations face in a changing environment. (As well as contemplating our impact on the planet). Viewing Salmon School, we also consider what action we must all take to save this and other species.
