Description

This website provides an introduction to the natural history of the Columbia River Basin in Southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It traces biological diversity through time, from the earliest beginnings that can be seen in fossils, through the diversity of forest, grassland and aquatic ecosystems, to the fish and wildlife that liver here. It also touches upon the consequences of change caused by human settlement and our use of natural resources, from inventories of species at risk of extinction, to the decline of sports fishing and the introduction of alien species.
