Ricko on protecting the Ecosystem of Alaska

Ricko stated on his Instagram post that it’s another summer for him with no salmon fishing in Alaska’s interior while the commercial fisheries run unrestricted and massacring the salmon before they can get to the rivers. 

He had also written in his post that Alaska’s natives are the undisputed caretakers of their land, and he wanted the people of Alaska, who are Native and non-Native, to do everything that they can do to manage their population of wolves and bears. 

Even the moose and caribou populations have been hit harder for a long time. 

The fish in Alaska have been decimated under the government's control, which is bad for them. 

Ricko also states if they see their herbivores go, then people in the village and their culture would be starved out. 

Ricko was aware of not waiting, and they should start to control this situation.
