Biogeography of Lingít Aaní’s most diverse transboundary watershed
20260502: In early winter, 2019, a coalition of Deishú (Haines)-based organizations invited me to compile a biogeographic and cultural atlas for this northern corner of our archipelago. Seven years later (2026) here’s where it stands.

Tomorrow, Cathy & Clay Good & I are ferrying north to Deishú for a 3 day celebratory convergence on that theme, of biogeography and biodiversity. So I’ve spent several days tidying up this document—still very much a draft—for upload to JuneauNature. It’s huge, 200 pages, and by a considerably margin the largest document I’ve archived on this website. Until now, only a few introductory pages were available.
I hope many attendees will download a copy. And if the empty or underdeveloped sections seem ‘unfair’ to their respective themes or subjects, then let’s get to work! An atlas is a community project. And what a bioregion-straddling community this is. Such a privilege, for a ‘southerner’ like me to be part of.
