Protecting the spine of the Rocky Mountains will preserve crucial ecological functions. Because the process of ecosystem diminishment and species loss has been slowed, an ecological thermostat has been kept alive. This may well be an important defence against future climate change impacts in the Canadian west. Ecology & Wonder is a must-read for those who appreciate Western Canada's breathtaking landscape.National parks and reservesCanadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site (Alta. and B.C.)ManagementEnvironmental protectionCanadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site (Alta. and B.C.)EcologyCanadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site (Alta. and B.C.)Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site (Alta. and B.C.)Environmental conditionsCanadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site (Alta. and B.C.)Historyenvrionmentnatureclimate changenational parksNational parks and reservesManagement.Environmental protectionEcology333.7209712332Sandford Robert W.801133Thorsell JamesMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQUkMaJRUBOOK996213123503316Ecology & Wonder in the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World heritage Site1802493UNISA
