“The Kootenay Wolves is a rollicking adventure from one of Canada’s best wildlife photographers and a thoughtful and poignant reflection on the tenuous existence of wolves in Canada’s Rocky Mountain national parks. Above all, it is a story of love both for and among wolves.” —Jeff Gailus, author of Little Black Lies and The Grizzly Manifesto; winner of numerous magazine awards for environmental journalism
“The Kootenay Wolves is just what is needed to help wolves everywhere survive in an increasingly human-dominated world. John Marriott’s heartfelt dedication to these amazing beings shines through on every page – through detailed, long-term observation of known individuals, beautiful prose, and stunning photographs – in which he captures just who wolves truly are. I hope this superb book enjoys a broad, global audience, because wolves are the more visible ‘canaries in the coalmine’ who can attract a good deal of attention to what is happening to them and to numerous other non-humans in the Anthropocene, often called ‘the age of humanity’ but in reality the narrow-minded, anthropocentric ‘rage of inhumanity.’ Kudos to John for speaking from his heart on behalf of wolves and other non-humans. I’m sure the animals are thanking you!” —Marc Bekoff, PhD, author of Rewilding Our Hearts: Building Pathways of Compassion and Coexistence and The Animals’ Agenda: Freedom, Compassion, and Coexistence in the Human Age (with Jessica Pierce)
“The Kootenay Wolves gives us a glimpse into John Marriott’s relentless commitment to telling the story of one of the most majestic, elusive and imperilled species out there. Through a stunning collection of photographs that are sure to stir up emotion and bewilderment, John enables the reader to develop an understanding of the adversity faced by the Kootenay wolves and a deep appreciation for their resilience. Once again Marriott harnesses his passion for conservation and his artistic talents to provide a voice for the wilderness.” —Paul Zizka, author of Spirits in the Sky, Aloft, The Canadian Rockies: Rediscovered and numerous other photo collections
“John Marriott has done the nearly impossible in this book: with beautiful, impactful images and heartfelt words he gives us details of the story of one family of wild wolves. Individual wolves are notoriously difficult to even see, let alone observe over a long period of time. With great determination and skill as both photographer and wilderness navigator, John has given the reader a rare opportunity to get to know individual wolves. His words paint a vivid picture of their habitat and the life of the family, including births and deaths.” –Cheryl Alexander, author of Takaya: Lone Wolf; Takaya’s Journey; and Good Morning, Takaya
