About This Item
From back cover: "In the hot, dry valleys of the Fraser and Chilcotin rivers lies a grassland that is one of the ecological wonders of the world. These Cariboo-Chilcotin grasslands contain one of the only remaining intact bluebunch wheat-grass grasslands in North America, the world's only porcupinegrass-needlegrass community, and one of the two oldest bird species on the planet. In an ecosystem that was put to fire for thousands of years to maintain its bounty of medicinal and food plants, herds of California bighorn sheep still follow ancient trails passed down through the generations. Bears too still pass through the grass while red-tailed hawks hunt overhead. The turquoise-coloured Chilcotin River passes below B.C.'s largest sand dune and ancient petroglyphs watch over migrating salmon. It is a landscape that lies deep within the imagination an mythology of the West. It is a gift to us from the past, a challenge for our imaginations, and a hope for the future."
A quote from David Suzuki: "The stunning images in this book evoke wonder and awe, which are essential if we are to love and fight to protect such sacred places".
