Rash dombrowski owns one of those houseboats, not that he feels comfortable using it with the lakes waters currently at an all time low. He says it's too dangerous. There are new hazards everywhere. Behind my houseboat, there used to be a zero rock, and now it's 30 feet tall. The Rock is, The Rock is 30 feet tall. So that goes to show you how low we got. Water levels on Lake Powell, one of the largest reservoirs in the country are down more than a 150 feet from full pool. The term water managers use for filled. Rock spires, canyons, bridges and arches, the sorts of awe inspiring formations. You'd see at Grand Canyon or arches national park are emerging from its Turquoise waters. Which is what we're here to see. Only our guide isn't exactly sad to see the reservoir drop. I can't believe there's nobody here. Eric Balkan is the director of the Glen canyon institute. A nonprofit that wants to see the area below the reservoir surface, restore. It's not exactly a popular opinion among Lake Powell's faithful. The reservoir is one of the busiest tourist attractions in the country. People are like, oh, this place is so beautiful and like if you were to build a dam in the Grand Canyon like the bureau wanted to, you know, that would be a beautiful reservoir too, and it would also be a crime against nature. A crime against nature. Balkan thinks that's what happened here at Glen canyon. And he's not alone in that sentiment. But to understand why, we gotta step away from the boat real quick. And jump back in time with a little help from the bureau Balkan just mentioned the bureau of reclamation. The date was February 20th, 1959. The place a remote corner of the Navajo Indian reservation in northern Arizona. Back then, there was no Lake pout. Only a muddy Colorado River, cutting deep through it almost Martian landscape. A place novelist Edward Abbey once described as a portion of earth's original Paradise. Here we go. The making place. Ken slate was a close friend of Abby's and a river runner on the Colorado. Now 92, he says Glenn canyon was home. You come to love it even more than anything. But they ruined it all when they put the water in there. It took a decade of blasting. Digging and pouring concrete to build the Glen canyon dam. The goal similar to Hoover Dam and Lake mead just downriver was to provide water storage along the Colorado and to generate electricity. The dam was finished in 1966. Glen canyon was drowned. Then, two decades ago, scientists say the mega drought began. And in recent years, water levels really dropped. Holy moly. Boating into a side canyon of the Colorado with Eric Balkan, we approach one of the largest natural bridges in the world. A thick span of red sandstone over classic waters. The last time this span was out, Neil Armstrong had walked on the moon yet. We put her in slowly, reflected sun like glimmers on the underside of the bridge like a kaleidoscope. We are gonna fit, right? Yeah. Oh my God. We make it through navigating upstream past the bone white tops of dead trees until the reservoir ends in a narrow canyon. We hit shore anchor up and begin hiking. Before the drought, this whole area was underwater. A white bathtub ring stains The Rock more than a hundred feet overhead. Oh my God, this is so cool. This is totally different than the last time I was here. Near the reservoir's edge, the ground is kind of soupy. And there's not much vegetation just red rock. But as you move up canyon, a creek starts to take shape. And the hike turns more into waiting. Sprouting willows and cotton goods, along with invasive species, line the shores about hip height. And songbirds trill against the canyon's edge. Amidst the occasional historical artifact. Pull tab beer can. Maybe a mile up the creek. The vegetation starts to grow so thick that waiting turns into bushwhack. I mean, we're walking through like 15 foot high willow bushes here. The point of this whole venture, what Balkan wants us to see is that Glenn canyon is recovering. The longer an area has been out of the water, the greater the recovery. I just want to bring like every water manager and everybody that's negotiating the future management of Lake Powell and Lake mead and I want them to come in and experience this and just know that when you're talking about refilling Lake Powell reservoir potentially, you're talking about red drowning this place. Bulk in the glint canyon institute are advocating for a new approach called Phil mead first. As in the next time we get a big snow year, instead of filling up Lake mead and Lake Powell equally, which has been the policies since Glenn canyon dam's construction, water managers should fill mead first, flooding Glen canyon and filling like Powell only if necessary. Hence the unpopularity with some Lake Powell's half $1 billion tourism industry. But Balkan says now is the time to talk about it. This place is changing and it deserves updated management. For a long time, Balkan says he felt like Don Quixote, tilting at windmills. People just said we were crazy and look at what's happening, you know? The reservoir is fading away. And with climate change, it's hard to see a scenario where it's full again. Jack Schmidt is a watershed scientist at Utah state university. Everyone understands that we're in a new normal. He says the whole debate about Glenn canyon is secondary to the bigger issue on the Colorado, which is that we're overdrawing from a shrinking checking account. It doesn't matter whether water is stored in Powell in need 50 50. It doesn't matter for solving the problem of the imbalance of the checking account. That problem can only be solved by reducing consumptive use. The 7 states and Native American tribes it depend on the Colorado River, are renegotiating its management now. And Schmidt isn't sure that the film need first proposal will find its way to the bargaining table. But he agrees it's a good time to have the conversation. Back in bullfrog up shore from the Marina and floating house boats, market Edwards and Steve Thompson are preparing for a day of bass fishing. And they're also game to have that conversation. They love Lake Powell. Edward says he doesn't think it's practical to have it go away completely. I'll floated all these rivers in the west. I mean, I would have loved to have been down here before they put the Lake in. And I would have fought against it, but it's too late now. Too late to get rid of the dam, even if there's not much water behind it. Nathan rob NPR news Glen canyon. Support for NPR in the following message come from data iku, the platform for everyday AI.

"Nearly two dozen species have been taken off the endangered list because they are now extinct. That news comes as the biden administration seeks to improve conservation. The is focused in large part on privately held land. Npr's nathan rot has more the idea behind the thirty by thirty conservation movement. The by administration has joined is pretty simple to avoid a near total collapse of our environment and the clean air water and head spaces. We'll get from it. We need to quickly protect big chunks of the earth's land and water the goal scientists have set in the near term is thirty percent thirty percent of the earth's land and water by the year. Twenty thirty thirty thirty simple right. Here's where it gets complicated. Okay so how do you measure that. Like what counts is a percent of conserved land. It's not easy. There are a lot of complex questions that go into considering. What counts gig. Kelly is with the interior department agency. Tasked with making biden's thirty by thirty pledge a reality think about permanent protections. The united states has already concerned approximately thirteen percent of us lands. She's talking national parks and monuments wildlife refuges and places like that the american the beautiful initiative recognizes that that's not a complete picture of what conservation is especially when you think about people on the landscape. Generally speaking there are two big schools of thought in the environmental movement about how to protect nature. One we should preserve as much intact land and water as we can't treat it like wilderness area no motors few humans pure preservation. The last at least in the best of the rest. This is dom and helping us out. He's with the nature conservancy. The second school of thought is what kate kelly was talking about. And what you see at this northern wisconsin lake that is standing beside people are here logging fishing. Recreating nature's here too. But that nature is being managed or conserved in a sustainable way. It's about how do we protect nature nature but nature for people also. It's not pure preservation but a mix take for example the dense green forest around this lake. It's under what's called a working forest conservation easement that means log which has happened here for more than one. Hundred years is still happening today. In these northern counties in wisconsin we have a high percentage of people dependent upon this industry timber industry. Logging is this places legacy but as the timber industry declined here late nineties. The family that owned this land started looking. For other ways to make money and properties like this that had high-value lake frontage when that real estate market kicked in they just changed the way that we looked at this happened and continues to happen across the country. Domine says major landowners timber companies farmers railroads and ranchers that help huge swath of land. Just thirty years ago are subdividing that means instead of trumpeter swans providing the ambiance like you have here at most other lakes in wisconsin. You have cover bands lake houses and speed limits. Just look out the window of a plane or poke around on google. And you'll see what we're talking about. Land is increasingly becoming a patchwork and that patchwork is the primary force driving. At least a million species globally towards extinction domain says. That's why conservation easement like this one were. Landowners are incentivized through tax breaks to protect nature or paid money for development. Rights are so crucial even though we're harvesting timber preserving these areas intact and that dividing it with roads and houses. This is the way that we can keep a little bit of that. Biodiversity attack preservation through conservation. Many of the details of biden's thirty by thirty plan are still foggy including how to pay for it and how to enforce it but republicans are already criticizing it as a land grab. It's clear though that the administration is going to rely heavily on private landowners and these types of voluntary easement to achieve that goal and for many environmental advocates. Like tom goal tooth. That is not enough. We have so many concerns that this is just another scam. Goal tooth is with the indigenous environmental network as another scam to give the impression that these lands on to be protected. Set aside restoring nature but these lands are agreed wash for polluting industry by allowing activities like logging or grazing or mining to still occur in limited fashion goal to says nature is not being adequately protected. Not when the world's top scientists are warning that the clean air water in ecosystems that we all depend on are at imminent risk landowner. Joe hobbled sitting on his four wheeler understands that sentiment when you look at the challenges for enormous protecting even managing land weiss. You know they. They can pretty overwhelming. Hobble is a log homebuilding. He's logged milled and craft just about every structure on this northern wisconsin property. He's giving us a tour of the younger white wines near but he's also a conservationist he runs a local nonprofit called the northwood alliance and his land is under an easement off of the four wheeler in on his handmade front deck. Hovel says in a perfect world yes there would be the ability to permanently preserve big chunks of land in the us. The point now is all that we are in such a critical time. If something isn't done over these next couple of decades. I think is going to be pretty hard to see a future on the landscape and the most politically palatable thing to do he says is not to hugely expand wilderness areas or create new national parks. It's to engage private landowners like him to own the vast majority of the land in wisconsin and other eastern states to make them part of the solution. This problem is so big. It sorta verse and so dynamic there isn't one answer to it. It will take everyone and everything. He says preservation and conservation to keep the natural world from collapsing. Further nathan rob..
