درباره این کتاب:
Alexandra
Morton has been called "the Jane Goodall
of Canada" because of her passionate
thirty-year fight to save British
Columbia's wild salmon. Her account of
that fight is both inspiring in its own
right and a roadmap of resistance.
Alexandra Morton came north from
California in the early 1980s, following
her first love--the northern resident
orca. In remote Echo Bay, in the Broughton
Archipelago, she found the perfect place
to settle into all she had ever dreamed
of: a lifetime of observing and learning
what these big-brained mammals are saying
to each other. She was lucky enough to get
there just in time to witness a place of
true natural abundance, and learned how to
thrive in the wilderness as a scientist
and a single mother.
Then, in 1989, industrial aquaculture
moved into the region, chasing the whales
away. Her fisherman neighbours asked her
if she would write letters on their behalf
to government explaining the damage the
farms were doing to the fisheries, and one
thing led to another. Soon Alex had
shifted her scientific focus to
documenting the infectious diseases and
parasites that pour from the ocean farm
pens of Atlantic salmon into the migration
routes of wild Pacific salmon, and then to
proving their disastrous impact on wild
salmon and the entire ecosystem of the
coast.
Alex stood against the farms, first
representing her community, then alone,
and at last as part of an uprising that
built around her as ancient Indigenous
governance resisted a province and a
country that wouldn't obey their own court
rulings. She has used her science, many
acts of protest and the legal system in
her unrelenting efforts to save wild
salmon and ultimately the whales--a story
that reveals her own doggedness and
bravery but also shines a bright light on
the ways other humans doggedly resist the
truth. Here, she brilliantly calls those
humans to account for the sake of us all.
