From the blurb - For seventeen years, Ian McAllister has explored the rugged north coast of British Columbia, known as the Great Bear Rainforest, one of the last places on the planet where wolves live in an undisturbed way.
This book describes McAllister's experiences over that period following two packs of wolves, one that dominates the extreme outer coastal islands and another pack that lives further inland in the heart of the temperate rain forest.
For the first time ever, the unique behaviour of these animals is documented in words and pictures as they fish for salmon in the fall, target seals hauled out on rocks in winter, and give birth to their young in the spring.
He also describes the work of scientists with the Raincoast Conservation Society who are studying the wolves and how their science corroborates his own observations and the traditional knowledge of First Nations people from the area.
Most interestingly, the results of these studies reveal a genetically distinct population of wolves independent of and separate from all other known wolf populations on the planet.
Just as important, this book is a celebration of one of the world's last wild places.
McAllister's compelling text is augmented throughout by over 100 of his stunning photographs of the wolves and their rain forest home.
The result is a first-ever and very intimate look at these unique animals.
This book, 192 pages, is in near-fine condition in a near-fine dust jacket, that is now enclosed in a protective mylar wrap.
