- Abstract
- When National Park Warden Ben Matthews transfers from Cape Breton Highlands to Wood Buffalo, he finds himself in the middle of a controversial proposal to slaughter the park’s entire bison population. Frustrated by Park’s bureaucracy and the devious efforts of the pro-slaughter camp, Ben helps uncover the truth about the park’s bison and the mysterious disappearance of a trapper who could influence the final outcome. Set in Canada’s largest national park and the second largest national park in the world, Wood Buffalo is a compelling story of one fight against the many forces threatening our special places (From Good Reads website)

- Abstract
- National Park Warden Ben Matthews expected challenges with his new posting at Cape Breton Highlands, but he got more than he bargained for. Facing a notorious poacher and the local communities who viewed poaching as a way of life, Ben and the park wardens are drawn into an intricate game of cat and mouse that takes a turn no one could have imagined. Set along the world-famous Cabot Trail, this is a gripping story about protecting one of Canada's special places. (From McNally Robinson website)

- Abstract
- "When Canada created a Dominion Parks Branch in 1911, it became the first country in the world to establish an agency devoted to managing its national parks. Over the past century this agency, now Parks Canada, has been at the centre of important debates about the place of nature in Canadian nationhood, and relationships between Canadas diverse ecosystems and its communities. Today, Parks Canada manages over forty parks and reserves totalling over 200,000 square kilometres and featuring a dazzling variety of landscapes, and is recognized as a global leader in the environmental challenges of protected places."--Pubishers description.
