Wild West:
Nature Living on the Edge


By Heather Beattie and Barbara Huck

More than 50 endangered animals, plants and ecosystems of Western North America

Few things are of more concern to Canadians and Americans - or indeed people anywhere in the world -  than the state of our Earth's environment and the species who co-habit it with us. From polar bears and geat blue whales to lake sturgeon and chinook salmon; from the Pacific albatross and California condors to swift foxes and the rare ocelot; from the inland temperate rainforest to the tall grass prairie, Wild West looks at each.
