| | Synopsis
|
Extensively illustrated with Ian McAllister's magnificent photographs,
The Salmon Bears explores the delicate balance that exists between the
grizzly, black and spirit bears and their natural environment, the
last great wilderness along the central coast of British Columbia. Key
to this relationship are the salmon that are born in the rivers each
spring, who then go out to sea as juveniles and return as adults to
spawn and die, completing a cycle of life that ensures the survival of
not only their own species but also virtually every other plant and
animal in the rainforest.
In clear language suitable for young readers, the authors describe the
day-to-day activities that define the lives of these bears through the
four seasons. But this is also very much the story of the Great Bear
Rainforest—a vast tract of land that stretches from the northern tip
of Vancouver Island to the Alaska border and contains some of the
largest stands of old-growth forest left on the West Coast. The Salmon
Bears focuses on the interconnectedness of all life in the rainforest
and makes a strong case for the importance of protecting this vital
ecological resource.
