Opis

The life of wild salmon is fraught with danger, both natural and man-made. This true-life story follows two salmon, Humphrey and Sally, from the time they emerge from the protective river gravel as fry, through the myriad dangers of their lives. They must find food, while trying not to become food themselves. We marvel as they face each obstacle and dodge predators along their epic migration route. Humphrey and Sally travel thousands of miles searching for food, growing into large, strong, beautiful adult salmon. We cheer their return to their home river, as they struggle valiantly over waterfalls, past seals and grizzly bears, to return to the river of their birth. Finally, we witness the last weeks of their lives, as they lay the eggs that will continue the healthy salmon species for generations to come. This powerful ecological story is an eye-opener for all ages. The Wild Salmon Odyssey will ensnare you in its glorious depiction of the wilderness, and the creatures that battle for survival as they heed nature's plan. About the Author: Robert Scriba, a wildlife guide, living in Campbell River, British Columbia, says he finally has the time to appreciate Mother Nature's gifts. "Age and life experiences tend to make me reflect on the damage we have created ourselves and how can we give something back in compensation. I have learned how important salmon are to the environment and have witnessed what happens when they do not return as expected. Every day we are bombarded with bad news about the plight of the wild salmon and how slowly regulators are responding."
