Sockeye salmon is a species of wild salmon that is born in the waters of Kamchatka and then enters the Pacific Ocean where it spends its entire life. Only once it returns to freshwater – to give birth, start the wheel of life and die. This inexhaustible resource that feeds billions of people on the planet is reviving every year. But we may face an incredible fact: an inexhaustible resource will be exhausted through the fault of humanity.
