One of the world's unique natural wonders, The Escarpment defines an area across Southern Ontario and Manitoulin Island. Its ecosystems support hundreds of at-risk species that coexist alongside the most densely populated and heavily developed region in Canada.Through Mark Zelinski?s images, and through the personal accounts of conservationists, scientists, scholars and residents of Indigenous and settler communities, readers have the opportunity experience a multi-layered perspective of the living escarpment. ?Heart Of Turtle Island: The Niagara Escarpment? is also a tribute to the work and ideals of growing legions of individuals and organizations that strive to protect The Niagara Escarpment.In the preface Zelinski writes: ?The Escarpment provides. For millennia, plants, birds, animals, and human enterprise have coexisted in its bounty. Its ancient limestone naturally purifies the water that runs through it. Its health offers us a reflection of our own health. The Niagara Escarpment is a living symbol of the immense scope of planetary time, and majesty, a gift to enjoy with respect and gratitude during our brief visit here on Turtle Island.?

It lived in Australia and New Caledonia. Remains have also been found on the island of Efate in Vanuatu, associated with settlements from the Lapita culture.
