The results of Statistics Canada's 1996 Survey on the Importance of Nature to Canadians are the focus of a new publication from Environment Canada. This publication covers such topics as: spending on nature-related activities, including camping, canoeing, sightseeing, fishing and wildlife viewing; the economic impacts of this spending in terms of contribution to gross domestic product; tax revenues generated and jobs supported; and the economic value placed by participants on these activities. The survey was conducted in 1997 on behalf of 15 federal, provincial and territorial agencies. Insights based on the report will contribute to the management of Canada's wildlife, water, forests and protected areas that are essential for the public's enjoyment of nature-related activities.

In 1997, Statistics Canada conducted a survey on the importance of nature to Canadians covering nature-related activities during 1996. This report presents highlights of the survey regarding the involvement that Canadians have with nature through participation in a variety of nature-based activities: outdoor activities in natural areas, residential wildlife-related activities, wildlife viewing, recreational fishing, hunting, and indirect nature-related activities. In part A, results are tabulated & discussed by province and with regard to participant characteristics, numbers of participants, time spent on the activity, numbers of trips, and expenditures in those activities. Part B compares fish- and wildlife-based tourism between Canada and the United States. Part C presents survey responses regarding respondents' interest in participating in nature-related activities, permitting an assessment of the likelihood of current rates of participation continuing into the future. Part D draws overall conclusions and discusses policy implications of the results.

Canadians and the Natural Environment to the Twenty-First Century provides an ideal foundation for undergraduates and general readers on the history of Canada's complex environmental issues. Through clear, easy-to-understand case studies, Neil Forkey integrates the ongoing interplay of humans and the natural world into national, continental, and global contexts. Forkey's engaging survey addresses significant episodes from across the country over the past four hundred years: the classification of Canada's environments by its earliest inhabitants, the relationship between science and sentiment in the Victorian era, the shift towards conservation and preservation of resources in the early twentieth century, and the rise of environmentalism and issues involving First Nations at the end of the century. Canadians and the Natural Environment to the Twenty-First Century provides an accessible synthesis of the most important recent work in the field, making it a truly state-of-the-art contribution to Canadian environmental history.
