{"product_id":"9781459719699","title":"Temagami: A Debate on Wilderness","description":"\u003cp\u003eOver the past two decades, the question of who owns the land of Temagami and how the land should be used has caused a debate of unparalleled intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the native people, it is their lands under attack.  For environmentalists from all parts of Ontario, it is a case of ecological preservation of a unique but fast-disappearing wilderness.  For others, dependent upon the resource sector, it is a matter of economic survival, both individually and for their communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn an attempt to clarify the issues surrounding Temagami, Laurentian University’s Institute of Northern Ontario Development and Research invited participants in the Temagami debate to a conference in October, 1989.  What follows in this volume are eleven of the revised papers originally presented there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA balanced perspective on the issues at hand is coupled with the views of the various interest groups.  Topics covered include aboriginal rights in Temagami, the development of a wilderness park system in Ontario, the management of multiple resources, the importance of tourism in Temagami and an environmentalist’s perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dundurn Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135153094896,"sku":"9781459719699","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781459719699_p0.jpg?v=1763872213","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781459719699","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
