About this book

Encompassing more than six million hectares of globally rare coastal rainforest, the Great Bear Rainforest in coastal British Columbia is home to thousand-year-old trees, rich runs of salmon, abundant species, including Kermode bears, grizzly bears, and wolves, as well as small, isolated, predominantly First Nations communities. Once slated for clear-cut logging, large areas were protected in 2006 by the signing of one of the world's most significant and innovative conservation agreements.

Tracking the Great Bear traces environmentalists' efforts to save the area from status quo industrial forestry, while at the same time respecting First Nations' right to economic development. Adopting a novel theoretical approach from science and technology studies, Tracking the Great Bear explains environmentalists' (contested) success as a result of their deployment of a powerful actor-network within British Columbia's land-use decision-making process.

Tracking the Great Bear makes a significant contribution to social scientific analyses of natural resource management. Bridging the gap between interpretivist and social structural analyses, it demonstrates how the Great Bear Rainforest was made – or, rather, recreated – out of uncertain and contested links among people, trees, animals, and money.

Media reviews

"By documenting the transition from fiercely confrontational, oppositional activism to a more inclusive, collaborative, collective form of environmental politics in the development of the Great Bear Rainforest Agreement, this book shows how all of those involved in discussions, negotiations, and actions [...] worked out new ways of relating to (or framed new stories about) the rainforest environment and each other. By moving beyond familiar binary conceptualizations – such as those between nature and society, science and politics, ecology and economy, and local and global – this book also challenges widely accepted ways of thinking about (storying) the environment."
– Graeme Wynn, from the Foreword

"Superbly researched, theoretically sophisticated, accessible, and immensely entertaining. You cannot ask for anything more from a book. Tracking the Great Bear tells a nuanced story about human-nonhuman assemblages in the constituting of the Great Bear Rainforest. It also offers one of the most lucid applications of actor-network theory that I have come across in quite some time."
– Michael S. Carolan, Professor of Sociology, Colorado State University
