David Moskowitz, Books, Art and Architecture, Caribou Rainforest: From Heartbreak To Hope, In a Lower 48 rainforest, that few people even know exists, there lives a small, struggling herd of caribou . . . at least for now? Mountain caribou of the Pacific Northwest are the southernmost population of caribou on Earth? These unique animals depend on the stability of the world?s last remaining inland temperate rainforest? This is the story of how and if the mountain caribou can be savedCaribou Rainforest doesn?t tell an easy story, ask easy questions, or pretend that there are easy solutions to the likely extinction of the last mountain caribou herd found in North America There are fewer than twenty animals left. Yet what Caribou Rainforest does?with photographs, words, and science?is explain why this is happening, so that as a community we don?t repeat our mistakes, even when our intentions are good.Author David Moskowitz has studied and photographed these caribou extensively in order to understand their plight. He hasn?t found villains, but rather predators, climate change, recreationists, industrial logging, mineral extraction, and a perfect confluence of factors that have worked against this fragile species and the fragile environment upon which it relies.The story of this iconic animal and stunning landscape provides an example of shifting conservation challenges and tactics in the twenty-first century. Mountain caribou have been identified as an "umbrella species" by conservationists, meaning that protecting their habitat also helps preserve many other species who depend on the same ecosystem. The discussion topics are controversial and wrenching?from exterminating wolves (who also struggle to survive) to protect the caribou, to limiting access to recreation during migration. The issues are contentious, but the opportunity to craft solutions still exists.If we do in fact lose the caribou, the task then pivots to how can we protect what remains of this rare rainforest ecosystem. In Caribou Rainforest, the author searches for lessons that can turn despair into hope: while we may lose the caribou, their story can become the inspiration and catalyst for committed change.
