Anti-pollution laws and government-funded cleanups made nearby rivers more hospitable to sturgeon, whitefish, beavers and native plants, such as wild celery.

Mountain gorillas spend most of their time sleeping, chomping leaves and wild celery stalks, and grooming each other’s fur with long, dexterous fingers.

And wild celery, a native grass with little capacity to survive high salinity, all but disappeared, robbing young fish and shrimp of shelter.
