The Samsara of Salmon

John Connell considers the plight of salmon, which are disappearing from the world's rivers, and what it means for life on our planet.

John Connell goes fishing in northern Spain, home to one of the oldest populations of Atlantic salmon in the world.

But he discovers a world on an ecological edge - with water at dangerously low levels, distraught fishermen and virtually no fish.

'What is a fish without a river?' he asks. 'Indeed what is a river without a fish?'
