"I deeply love the Canadian wilderness. It is honest and it is true. It sustains us and it gives us life. But I worry that it is not safe from us now. In only the past decade, ancient forests I once knew are gone and lakes of crystal clear water are dry. Will we end up in Canada with a land of fake forest and paved meadow? What will become of our natural heratige?
Dr Jonas Salk once said:
'if all insects on Earth disappeared, within 50 years all life on Earth would end. If all human beings disappeared from the Earth, within 50 years all forms of life would flourish.'
I wonder, is that what it will take?"
