Glynnis A Hood Livres

Les travaux de Glynnis Hood explorent les dynamiques écologiques complexes des populations de castors et les impacts de l'activité humaine sur les habitats des ours grizzlis. S'appuyant sur une vaste expérience de terrain dans les aires protégées de l'ouest du Canada, du Subarctique aux plaines boréales, elle offre une perspective unique façonnée par ses années en tant que gardienne de parc national. Sa recherche examine de manière critique les relations entre les efforts de conservation et la faune, se concentrant particulièrement sur l'adaptation et la gestion des espèces. En tant que professeure associée, elle combine l'expérience pratique de la conservation avec la rigueur académique pour éclairer les défis environnementaux.

Exploring the unique adaptations of semi-aquatic mammals, the book introduces remarkable species such as the electroreceptive platypus, fishing cats that cleverly lure prey, and the water opossum, which protects its young during dives. It highlights the ecological impact of beavers and hippos on freshwater habitats. Accompanied by stunning illustrations from Meaghan Brierley, this work serves as a comprehensive reference to these intriguing creatures and their diverse environments across the globe.
A Cabin Christmas

Colourful and lively illustrations draw you into a touching tale about how a community of all shapes and sizes comes together, just in time for Christmas. Hello, moose, says the girl. Hello, beaver! Hello, squirrel! Every morning she leaves her family cabin in the woods to visit her forest and wetland friends. With winter coming, Christmas excitement is building and there is an extra big smile on her face as her “hellos” echo across the forest. Her furry friends are also preparing for winter and are very happy to listen as they chew the last of the fresh stems along the pond, while the bear searches for a cozy den for the winter. All is right with the world until an unexpected challenge for the girl and her family brings team forest (and wetland) together to make it the best Christmas ever! It is the girl’s love and respect for the animals that bring their love and respect back to her doorstep.
