Great Salt Lake is the largest saline lake in the Western
Hemisphere. It’s one of the most asked-about tourist destinations
in Utah. It’s hemispherically critical to more than 10 million
migratory birds that rely on it for resting, staging, and nesting
during their migratory journey. And it’s located next to a
population of 2.6 million people that is projected to double
by 2060. Through upstream diversions exacerbated by climate
change, Great Salt Lake is drying up. Without intervention, it’s on
track to become one of the largest dust emission sources in North
America. Through advocacy, engagement, and direct action, many
local groups are working to address this problem. Join FRIENDS of
Great Salt Lake, poet Nan Seymour, and the Save Our Great Salt
Lake collective to learn more about their advocacy work and how
citizens can get involved.
