Aprašymas

An insider reveals the ongoing battle to protect Ontario's pristine old-growth forests in Temagami.

Temagami became a household name when it was named by the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Endangered Spaces. The chronic and insidious attack on its resources sounded an alarm that resonated worldwide on all environmental channels and global media outlets. Temagami has therefore become a geopolitical scrimmage between land protectors and environmentalists and the industrial elite, under a failing bureaucratic system bent on plundering Ontario's primeval old-growth forests.

Hap Wilson, who has spent more than half a century in Temagami as a park ranger, cartographer, wilderness guide, artist, activist, and lodge owner brings to light one of Canada's longest standing environmental battles spanning over 175 years of history, sharing the environmental activism of the 1990s that opposed mining and logging in Temagami.

It's a story that needs to be told.
