Bit by bit his virgin, rainforest and marine environment bas been parcelled out to the twentieth century. One, outstanding conservation op- portunity now remains - south Moresby. The wilderness area takes in the, lower portion of Moresby Island and almost 140 smaller islands, as well as some 40 freshwater lakes and a 1,000 mile coast line. It's a nafuralists' dream. Flowering plants unique in the world grow here in alpine meadows. Lower down the rugged mounitainside stands of red cedar, sitka spruce, western hemlock and yellow cypress form the lush virgin ramn- forest wbich bas softened the landscape for 10,000 years. At water's edge, a whole new world of marine inter- tidal life opens up. Fully one Moresby half of B.C'.'s sea lions population inhabits south Moresby, along with one in four nesting birds of the Pacific Coast, Peale's peregrines, and other species in jeopardy, silchIla S trumpeter swans and sandhill cranes. Back on the land a unique pine martin, the world's largest black bear and a number of other mamn- mals have evolved somecwhat dîfferently lfroui their mainland relatives. No Wonder t he Queen Charlottes have been hailed as the "Canadian Galapogos". Some of the misty isles' treasure is protected in the World Herirage CuIt ural Site at Anthony Island. And the Haida Indians who still live off the land and dlaimn its ownership, are also determin- ed to maintain its integrity. But stronger powers are lined up against themn and the Islands Protection Society, which leads the con.servationi campaign.
