At the same time as climate change is affecting the habitat of plants and animals, human development has made islands out of even our largest nature reserves, stranding the biodiversity that lives within them." This also focuses on making connections between people - the author has traveled the length of the Spine, sharing stories and anecdotes about the people she meets along the way and the critters they love. SIGNED on the title page. Maps, endnotes, bibliography, index. xv, 272 pp. ISBN: 978-0762772148.
