Boreal Wilderland

A stunning exploration of the boreal forest - blending art, science, and storytelling to inspire conservation through a deeper understanding of one of Earth’s most vital and overlooked ecosystems. The boreal forest, a vast northern wilderness that encircles the globe, is three times the size of the Amazon, has the photosynthetic output of over a trillion trees, and is within a day’s drive of major urban centers such as New York City, Chicago, Vancouver, and Moscow, and within an hour of Montreal. Yet most people have no idea that wilderness on this scale still exists. In Boreal Wilderland, acclaimed wildlife and wilderness artist, expedition canoeist, and naturalist Rob Mullen presents a stunning, multifaceted portrait of this immense and breathtaking biome. With vivid prose and stunning artwork, and a foreword by Robert Bateman, Boreal Wilderland reveals a place that is ecologically essential. Home to hundreds of Indigenous communities, the boreal forest is also awe-inspiring in its beauty and scale. More than just a travelogue or an art book, it is an in-depth look at the forest’s natural and human history.
