You don't have to live in the Great Bear Rainforest to benefit from its existence, but after you read Nowhere Else on Earth you might want to visit this magnificent part of the planet. Environmental activist Caitlyn Vernon guides young readers through a forest of information, sharing her personal stories, her knowledge and her concern for this beautiful place. Full of breathtaking photographs and suggestions for ways to preserve this unique ecosystem, Nowhere Else on Earth is a timely and inspiring reminder that we need to stand up for our wild places before they are gone.

Industry Reviews
"While the author comes down firmly on the side of conservation, she presents a balanced and sensitive view of what has driven, and what still drives, people to not conserve...The short chapters, lavishly illustrated with photographs, are divided into easy-to-read segments. This is a very readable and accessible book that will appeal to all ages...This is an inspiring book that anyone interested in conserving our planet should read. Vernon's motivating vision for the future reinforces just how connected we all are-not just to this rainforest but to everywhere on Earth."
