    Extractions: Geography for writers Geography can really perplex a writer, not so much because of the mountains and lakes themselves, but because we're always renaming everything.

It includes information on Canada, the United States, Africa, East Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, the Pacific and the Poles (North and South, not Walesa and Chopin). Feel free to e-mail us with comments, corrections or updates. CANADA Adjectives Do not inflect the names of provinces when used adjectivally. Huh? Put in plain English, that means it's okay to use Albertan as a noun, but not as an adjective. "The Alberta doctor saw many Albertans in her practice." This doesn't work for all provinces though. There is no real adjectival form for Saskatchewan or Ontario, although in a pinch you can get away with Saskatchewaners and Ontarians. People from PEI can just be called Islanders. Quebeckers can be called Quebecois. St. John's and Saint John

Chadwick, a celebrated writer known for his comprehensive, lyrical, and often witty approach to the natural world, returns with a highly personal take on what is fast becoming one of the most challenging and vitally urgent conservation issues in North America. The region of the northern Rocky Mountains, which spans from Yellowstone National Park to the Yukon, boasts one of the world’s greatest collections of megafauna, including pumas, wolves, grizzly and black bears, elk, and musk oxen. The long-term future of the region’s wildlife, however, is threatened by increasing fragmentation and loss of habitat. And this is where Y2Y—a mammoth conservation initiative backed by more than 170 different organizations—comes in. Yellowstone to Yukon is both a timely explanation of all the intricacies of the region's peerless resources as well as a powerful clarion call for an effective conservation plan. Dramatic, full-color photography by Raymond Gehman captures all the wonders of the region’s landscapes and wildlife, while Chadwick’s finely wrought, anecdote-rich narrative skillfully assesses the web of issues and contentions that continue to affect this unparalleled habitat.

    Extractions: Butterflies Canada, with a land area of 9,922,335 square kilometres (almost 4 million square miles), is the second largest country in the world in area. It extends more than 5000 kilometres east to west from St. John's in Newfoundland to Victoria on Vancouver Island, and more than 4600 kilometres from the top of Ellesmere Island in the Arctic to Point Pelee in southern Ontario to the south. Most of this vast area, however, is sparsely populated, with the majority of Canada's 30 million inhabitants living in a narrow zone along Lake Ontario and in the St. Lawrence River Valley, an area that occupies less than 1 per cent of the land area. Politically, Canada was until recently divided into ten provinces that cross the southern half of Canada and two territories in the north. From east to west, the provinces are Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia, and the two territories were Northwest Territories and Yukon. On April 1, 1999, the eastern half of the mainland of the Northwest Territory, and most of the Arctic Islands, was made into the new territory of Nunavut. Two life zones dominate Canada's landscape. The boreal forest, or Taiga Zone, that stretches from Newfoundland, the northern edge of the Great Plains, and the Rocky Mountain foothills northward to treeline, occupies fully 50 per cent of Canada's land mass or five million square kilometres; the Tundra Zone that stretches across northern Canada north of treeline, occupies another 25 per cent or 2.5 million square kilometres. These two life zones are the most sparsely populated parts of Canada, and have few roads to provide access for survey work on butterflies; the spotty distribution of butterflies on the maps for these areas reflects this paucity of available data.

    Extractions: Printer-friendly version E-mail this story to a friend An ambitious plan to protect grizzlies and other Rocky Mountain wildlife. The most critical stretch of land for America's grizzly bears happens to be in…Canada. Less than 100 miles over the Canadian border and not far from Glacier National Park, Crowsnest Pass, Alberta, is where most grizzlies heading north or south to find mates are funneled into a narrow corridor. Without this undeveloped channel through for unhindered movement, say wildlife biologists, America's population of grizzlies will be cut off from the larger gene pool of Canadian grizzlies, a blow that would eventually be the end of grizzlies in the United States. But the popularity of Rocky Mountain living means development is encroaching upon the amount of open land in Crowsnest Pass. Now a nonprofit organization called Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative is racing to protect key habitat and ensure corridors for grizzly travel, as well as for other large mammals with similar range patterns. Protecting open space in the Crowsnest Pass migration area is priority number one for the Yellowstone to Yukon activists. The initiative began eight years ago, when Calgary lawyer and environmentalist, Harvey Locke, was on a backpacking trip in northern British Columbia. Looking at his map one night, he began to think about the ecological unity of the lands and animals over much of the western part of the continent. Immediately, he started outlining an area of land on his topographic map, and sketching a plan to launch a conservation movement.

    Extractions: Encyclopedia Yukon Territory The triangle-shaped Yukon territory is bordered on the N by the Beaufort Sea of the Arctic Ocean, on the E by the Northwest Territories, on the S by British Columbia and Alaska, and on the W by Alaska. The highest point in the Yukon is Mt. Logan, 19,850 ft (6,050 m) high, part of the Coast Ranges in the southwest. Although most of the territory is a watershed for the Yukon River and its tributaries, the northern and southeastern regions drain east into the Mackenzie River system. Immediately south of the desolate arctic coast the country is uninhabited and generally unknown. The other parts of the territory have great natural beauty, with snow-fed lakes backed by perpetually white-capped mountains and forests and streams abounding with wildlife. Kluane National Park (est. 1972) is in the St. Elias Mts. Winters are long and cold, with low humidity. During the short summers the longer day and surprisingly warm sun bring a profusion of wildflowers and enable the hardier grains and vegetables to mature. The few settlements are situated on the riverbanks. The capital and largest town is

A particularly warm pocket of heated air has risen to an elevation where it reaches its dew point. At this elevation, the air cools and forms a cloud as it looses its moisture. The act of turning water from a gas into liquid releases heat, warming the cloud even more, causing it to rise up above all the other clouds, where it cools even further, releasing more moisture. This process continues until all the water vapor has been converted to liquid, most of it falling as rain.

    The yukon River was designated a Canadian Heritage River in 1991. geography.More than half of the yukon Territory is drained by the yukon River.  
    http://www.chrs.ca/Rivers/Yukon/Yukon-F_e.htm
    
    Extractions: Back to The Thirty Mile (Yukon River) Main Page Today, this part of the river is easily navigated by modern recreational craft. Travellers of the Thirty Mile can view and photograph wildlife along its wooded riverbanks. They can also step back into the past at the abandoned gold rush era settlements of Lower Laberge and Hootalinqua. Here, deteriorating wooden buildings and ships call to mind an era during which 250 paddlewheelers churned the Yukon waters, transporting settlers, goldseekers, and supplies up and down the river until the late 1950s. To protect these and other heritage features along the river, the Yukon Territorial Government and the Federal Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development jointly nominated the river to the Canadian Heritage Rivers System (CHRS) in January, 1988. The Yukon River was designated a Canadian Heritage River in 1991. Geography There is no road access to the Thirty Mile and the shores are now uninhabited. Virtually all lands to the river are under federal Crown ownership, managed by the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. Signs of contemporary human activity are minimal. A few mineral claims exist, two trappers hold leases, the federal government has some unmanned water monitoring stations, and the territorial government maintains some historic sites. Actually, the shores are in a more natural state today than during the paddlewheeler era when long stretches of timber were cut to provide the ships with fuel.
