Overview
For over a decade Santa Clara Pueblo has worked to restore the Rio Grande cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki virginalis) to the headwaters of Santa Clara Creek in northern New Mexico. While the pueblo has faced a number of obstacles over the years that have threatened to scuttle this work, it has continued to move forward with efforts to conserve this rare fish so that it can endure into the future.
