Alaska Insight
When drought came to the rainforest, Metlakatla adapted
Season 3 Episode 12 | 26m 46s
Metlakatla, a village in Southeast Alaska, is experiencing something unexpected, drought.
Alaska’s vast geography features dramatic precipitation variation from the relatively dry arctic to the rainforests of the southeast, but a changing climate is causing problems in some unexpected ways. This week on Alaska Insight, we’ll visit the Southeast community of Metlatakla to learn how residents in the community are working to adapt to a problem they never imagined -- drought.
