Description

The Boreal Forest: A Journey Around the World's Last Great Wilderness Explore the boreal forest, a vast and vital ecosystem that covers much of the subarctic region. This unique environment is home to an incredible array of plants and animals, from tigers and sika deer to wolves and countless species of trees. From the Siberian Taiga to the Old World forests of Norway, the boreal forest is a place of breathtaking beauty and importance. The seasons in this forest are marked by dramatic changes, from the snows of winter to the long days of summer. Jane Drake and Ann Love take you on an unforgettable journey through this remarkable region, revealing its science, myth, and natural history. As we learn about the boreal forest, we also discover why it is under threat. Clear-cutting, acid rain, and radioactivity have all taken their toll on this vital ecosystem. Cool Woods is a call to action, encouraging us to take care of our planet's most precious resources.
