On Nature's Death Row: Ontario's Vanished 'Carolinian' Forest It used to stretch from Oshawa to Windsor. Now, development encroaches on the last scraps of a once-great woods. Reporter Chris Wood profiles what death row looks like for endangered species and their landscapes.
Interesting article. I didn 't realize how small even the original Carolinian forest was in Ontario. The only small mistake that I noticed was the mention of the Massasauga Rattlesnake as the only venomous snake in Canada. I know that BC has rattlesnakes, and a quick check via Google verified that they belong to a different species. There is a third species in the prairie provinces.
True, there is a mistake. He probably had Ontario in mind. I just looked at the Net to find that in Canada there are four :-) species of venomous snakes 1. Northern Pacific rattlesnake in BC 2. Desert Nightsnake in BC 3. Massasauga in Ontario 4. Prairie rattlesnake in Saskatchewan and Alberta. See: How many venomous snakes are there in Canada
