A new book by Nature Conservancy of Canada Chief Science Officer and
National Director of Conservation Operations, John Riley, presents a
detailed accounting of the geologic, natural and human history of the
Great Lakes Region – an area that, according to Riley, “now supports a
population of more than forty-five million and a shared annual economy
of more than $1 trillion. It is a place that is open to the continent,
and now to the world, more of a crossroads than anything separate or
insular.”
John Riley led NCC’s project to study the biodiversity of each region,
and complete ecoregional assessments, or conservation blueprints, for
every part of Canada’s south.
Copies of the latest paperback edition will be available for an amazing
low price of $25, including GST.
