Synopsis

In Nature on the Edge, ecologist Bruce Byers offers readers new perspectives on two iconic California coastal regions, San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate and the Santa Barbara Channel Islands. While many people―in California and elsewhere―are familiar with these two areas, they may not know that they are part of a network of international biosphere reserves organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).  Nature on the Edge traces the history of nature conservation in these places and introduces the committed individuals who led those efforts and model effective action.
