From the Foreword: "Being the first comprehensive work on the orchids of Manitoba (this book) will go far beyond simply providing enjoyment. It will educate, stimulate interest in science, and assist field biologists and landscape managers. Protection is a major theme both at the start and at the end and there can be little doubt that conservation will be significantly promoted. Orchids were the first group of Canadian plants to be selected for monitoring of the general status of environment and biodiversity in Canada. This monitoring follows the "Accord for the Protection of Species at Risk," an agreement between provincial/territorial and federal governments with the goal of preventing species in Canada from becoming extinct or extirpated because of human impact.
