Kayaking the Missouri
Aug 15, 2008
Photographer and conservationist Joe Riis aims to protect the Missouri with his Nikon. The 24-year old kayaked 500 miles on the Missouri a couple of summers ago, collecting the photos into an exhibit called The Missouri River, Exposed.

The Missouri River dams destroyed thousands of acres of cottonwood forests that were prime eagle habitat. -
When the endangered birds congregated near Fort Randall Dam, the area was designated the Karl Mundt Wildlife Refuge by the federal government. -
Rain submerged these cottonwood seedlings in water. Minutes after this photo was taken, they collapsed and shriveled under the water's weight. -
Young cottonwoods rarely grow along the river banks anymore because they rely on natural flood pulses to germinate. -
