| Summary: | Harsten Heuer is a wildlife biologist, park warden, and author. For the past decade he has spent much of his time following endangered wildlife on foot and skis. In 1998 and 1999 he walked and skied from Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming to Canada's Yukon Territory to publicize a proposal for a 1900 mile long system of wildlife corridors and reserves (the Y2Y Initiative, see: http://www.y2y.net/). In 2003, he and Leanne Allison spent their honeymoon following the Porcupine Caribou Herd from the Yukon to their endangered calving grounds in the disputed ANWR region of Alaska (http://www.beingcaribou.com/). |
