Wildlife Adventures
in the Canadian West
by Dick Dekker

The ultimate in wilderness travel in western Canada

This is the story of the author's travels and wildlife observations in all seasons of the year accompanied by his sometimes radical thoughts on wildlife preservation. Driven by a deep, personal sense of curiosity, he paddled hundreds of miles down swift Yukon rivers, the Peace River in northwestern Alberta and several remote lake systems in northern Saskatchewan in pursuit of his studies which focus on the intertwined lives of prey and predators. From its beginnings, the narrative flows like a clear, untouched wilderness stream, with lively riffles and quiet pools that give pause for reflection and perspective.

Since emigrating to Canada from his native Holland, wildlife biologist Dick Dekker has spent much of his life in the Canadian Northwest - among lakes and rivers, forest and mountains - observing wildlife from a tent or remote cabin. His many publications on the subject range from technical papers to popular books, including "Wolves of the Rocky Mountains - From Jasper to Yellowstone" and "Two decades of wildlife investigations at Devona, Jasper National Park, 1981-2001."
