On the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains lie Jasper and Banff National Parks in southwestern Alberta, Canada. Mount Robson, rising to more than 2900 meters, is the area's highest peak. The Parks are actually comprised of four separate areas: Banff, jasper, Yoho and Kootenay all managed as a single reserve and with their wide differences in elevation they provide a variety of biotopes each with its own distinctive plant and animal communities. This 28 minutes documentary is part of the tv-series WONDERS of WILDERNESS and is available on DVD or VHS (Dutch or English version) at WWW.FAUNAFILM.NL The 12-part series colourfully introduces a dozen of the world's most important national parks with their rich flora, fauna and awe-inspiring geological wonders. The series demonstrates the wisdom of the national park founders who made it possible to create safe havens for plant and animal life. They led the way in teaching us how vital it is to protect our soil, air and water from pollution both for ourselves and for future generations.
