Canopy Of Titans by Paul Koberstein Paperback
Trees are crucial in preserving a liveable future.&160;Canopy of Titans&160;makes an eloquent plea for saving one of North America's last great forests.-&160;Elizabeth Kolbert, author of&160;The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History&10;In&160;Canopy of Titans, Paul Koberstein and Jessica Applegate examine the global importance of the Pacific&160;Coastal Temperate Rainforest that stretches from Northern California to Alaska. Their urgent and authoritative account sets out the threats facing a vital environmental resource, and celebrates the beauty and complexity of one of the world's great forests.&160;&10;Drawing on years of on-the-ground reporting, Koberstein and Applegate pull back the curtain on policies of governmental bodies that have seriously diminished the rainforest&8217;s capacity to store carbon, and uncover industry practices that have led to the destruction of swaths of a major ecological resource. Additionally, using an environmental justice perspective,&160;Canopy of Titans&160;shines a light on the Indigenous communities that have lived in the rainforest for millennia, and the impact forest policies have had on their lives.
