Some good news for the weekend:.
"A US agency seeking to restore habitat for endangered fish gave final approval on Thursday to decommission four dams straddling the California-Oregon border, the largest dam removal undertaking in US history."

Incidentally I first learned about the Klamath River Renewal project through the awesome podcast How to Save a Planet (https://gimletmedia.com/shows/howtosaveaplanet/z3h7526/the-tribe-thats-moving-earth-and-water) - the local Yurok tribe have been fighting for a long time to restore the river that forms part of their ancestral lands
They're doing some amazing work using carbon credits for the the forests they steward to buy back more of their ancestral land (although "buy back" is probably the wrong way of phrasing it given that someone essentially came along and said "we're instituting a system of land ownership and making ourselves the owners of this land you live on, if you want rights to it your grandchildren will have to pay us for them")
