Explores the area between Vancouver Island and the Alaska border
On Canada's west coast between the north end of Vancouver Island and the Alaska border, a wilderness region the size of two Switzerlands winds through 250 miles of forested islands and inlets. It is the largest tract of intact temperate rainforest left on earth. Now becoming known as the Great Bear Rainforest, this vast wilderness is laced with some eighty pristine river systems whose abundant runs of Pacific salmon support dense concentrations of rainforest wildlife, including Canada's largest grizzly bears and the rare all-white spirit bear. Only recently, the threat of devastation by clearcut logging has brought this last great stand of endangered rainforest to international notice.The Great Bear Rainforest: Canada's Forgotten Coast, by Ian McAllister and Karen McAllister with Cameron Young, offers the world its first in-depth view of this remarkable but long overlooked area. Combining an authoritative but readable text with over 150 breathtaking full-colour photographs of wild bears and never-before-seen landscapes, the book takes the reader on an unforgettable tour of one of the world's most amazing wilderness areas. After exploring the northern BC raincoast on these pages, no one will remain indifferent to the fate of this irreplaceable natural wonder.
