Seller's Description:
John Broadhead (map), Richard Krieger (Jacket phot. Very good in Very good jacket. xv, [1], 318, [2] pages. Bookplate on fep. Inscribed by the author, Elizabeth May, on the half-title page. Inscription reads: To Bill, with thanks for all your work to save our planet's forests--From Ann Arbor to Rio...you just keep popping up! Love, Elizabeth May 1, 1993. Includes Map, Illustrations, Acknowledgments, Foreword by Farley Mowat, and Introduction, as well as 33 chapters, and Epilogue. Elizabeth May is, in Farley Mowat's words, "a born story teller in the grand tradition." During the final year of on-again, off-again negotiations over South Moresby, she was senior policy adviser to Tom McMillan, then the federal minister of the environment. Her inside account, Paradise Won, follows the surprising twists and turns in the story of the fourteen years it took to save South Moresby. Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve is located in the southernmost part of Haida Gwaii, 130 kilometres off the mainland of British Columbia, Canada. Gwaii Haanas protects an archipelago of 138 islands in the territory of the Haida people, who have lived in Haida Gwaii for well over 14, 000 years. Plans to expand logging in the area led to the first concerted efforts to protect Gwaii Haanas and-in 1985-the Haida Nation created the "Haida Heritage Site." Logging continued and resulted in a prolonged legal and political battle. In 1987, logging finally ended when the governments of Canada and British Columbia signed the South Moresby Memorandum of Understanding, which safeguarded the area and permitted shared stewardship, treating the unique marine and terrestrial environments as though they were a national park. Elizabeth Evans May OC MP (born June 9, 1954) is a Canadian politician who served as Leader of the Green Party of Canada from 2006 to 2019 and the Member of Parliament (MP) for Saanich-Gulf Islands since 2011. An environmentalist, author, activist and lawyer, May founded and served as the Executive Director of the Sierra Club Canada from 1989 to 2006. May was the longest serving female leader of a Canadian federal party. Born in Hartford, Connecticut, Elizabeth May immigrated to Canada with her family as a teenager. She attended St. Francis Xavier University, graduated from Dalhousie University with a law degree in 1983, and later studied theology at Saint Paul University for which she told the Anglican Journal in a 2013 interview that she had to withdraw from the program due to conflicting schedule demands. Following her graduation from Dalhousie University, May worked as an environmental lawyer in Halifax before moving to Ottawa in 1985, joining the Public Interest Advocacy Centre as the associate general counsel. In 1986, she was named Senior Policy Advisor to Thomas McMillan, then-Environment Minister in the Progressive Conservative Mulroney government. As senior policy advisor, May was deeply involved in the negotiation of the Montreal Protocol, an international treaty designed to protect the ozone layer. She resigned on principle from the position in 1988 over permits for construction of a dam granted without environmental assessments, which were later determined to be illegal by a federal court. In 2006, after building the Sierra Club into a nationally effective organization, May resigned to run for leadership of the Green Party of Canada, winning on the first ballot with 66% of the vote. On May 2, 2011, May became the first member of the Green Party of Canada to be elected as a Member of Parliament, defeating Conservative cabinet minister Gary Lunn with 46% of the vote in the Saanich-Gulf Islands riding. In the 2019 federal election, she was re-elected with 54% of the vote. May resigned as Green Party leader on November 4, 2019 but remains as parliamentary leader in the house. Elizabeth May has been an officer of the Order of Canada since 2005, and has been named by the United Nations as one of the leading women environmentalists worldwide. She was named by fellow MPs as Parliamentarian of the Year...
