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. 606 $aNational parks and reserves$zCanadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site (Alta. and B.C.)$xManagement 606 $aEnvironmental protection$zCanadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site (Alta. and B.C.) 606 $aEcology$zCanadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site (Alta. and B.C.) 607 $aCanadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site (Alta. and B.C.)$xEnvironmental conditions 607 $aCanadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site (Alta. and B.C.)$xHistory 610 $aenvrionment 610 $anature 610 $aclimate change 610 $anational parks 615 0$aNational parks and reserves$xManagement. 615 0$aEnvironmental protection 615 0$aEcology 676 $a333.7209712332 700 $aSandford$b Robert W.$0801133 702 $aThorsell$b James 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996213123503316 996 $aEcology & Wonder in the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World heritage Site$91802493 997 $aUNISA
