The Lost Salmon

The Lost Salmon, chronicles the plight and potential recovery of the iconic spring chinook salmon of the Pacific Northwest. Faced with extinction in many river systems of the West, a new genetic discovery could aid in their recovery. Once teaming in the millions and a sacrament for the oldest civilizations in the Americas, time is running out for the genetically distinct wild salmon.

Jenny partnered with Filmmaker Shane Anderson and his team as an illustrator, creating drawings of salmon, other ocean & stream creatures and detailed maps.

Shane Anderson set out on a two-year journey to explore the connection of spring chinook to people and place and following the new genetic discovery that could lead to protections under the Endangered Species Act.
