Barb tells her story by providing examples of the forest habitats needed by three charismatic species: Black Bears, Marbled Murrelets and Wandering Salamanders.Yes, Wandering Salamanders are charismatic and their survival depends on the dynamic processes happening in the coastal temperate rainforest!
