Since emigrating to Canada from his native Holland, wildlife biologist Dick Dekker has spent much of his life in the Canadian Northwest – among lakes and rivers, forest and mountains – observing wildlife from a tent or remote cabin. His many publications on the subject range from technical papers to popular books, including Wolves of the Rocky Mountains—From Jasper to Yellowstone and Two decades of wildlife investigations at Devona, Jasper National Park, 1981-2001.
