Caribou and the North Featured on Sustainablog

Caribou and the North: A Shared Future by Monte Hummel and Justina C. Ray received its first review this past Wednesday on the environmental blog Sustainablog.org. Here’s a portion of the review.

“In Caribou and the North: A Shared Future, Hummel and Ray use their expertise on these cold-loving herbivores and on the science of conservation to provide a fact-filled, highly persuasive bio-graphy of caribou and the “North” they inhabit … Even if you are not an ungulate lover or prefer tropical warmth to boreal chill, Caribou and the North is an engaging introduction to these animals and how crucial they are to their environment … Although there are many gaps in knowledge about caribou, Hummel and Ray sound a convincing alarm about our need to protect them (and thereby the North, and thereby the Earth) … After finishing Caribou and the North, you may well find yourself hoping that neither of them “goes” anywhere! For if either disappears, both will be gone … and if both are gone, then so many other life-forms will not be far behind.”  – Justin Van Kleeck
