Off the coast of California, running from Santa Barbara to La
Jolla, lies an archipelago of eight islands known as the California
Channel Islands. The northern five were designated as Channel
Islands National Park in 1980 to protect and restore the rich
habitat of the islands and surrounding waters. In the years since,
that mission intensified as scientists discovered the extent of
damage to the delicate habitats of these small fragments of land
and to the surprisingly threatened sea around them. In Restoring
Nature Lary M. Dilsaver and Timothy J. Babalis examine how the
National Park Service has attempted to reestablish native wildlife
and vegetation to the five islands through restorative ecology and
public land management. The Channel Islands staff were innovators
of the inventory and monitoring program whereby the resource
problems were exposed. This program became a blueprint for
management throughout the U.S. park system. Dilsaver and Babalis
present an innovative regional and environmental history of a
little-known corner of the Pacific West, as well as a larger
national narrative about how the Park Service developed its
approach to restoration ecology, which became a template for
broader Park Service policies that shaped the next generation of
environmental conservation.
