• 摘要: A dramatic environmental saga unfolds in John Hart's compelling story of the fight to save Mono Lake. This ancient inland sea, in the eastern Sierra near Yosemite National Park, is among the oldest in North America. But over the past fifty years, as its feeder streams were steadily drained to supply inexpensive water to Los Angeles, the lake's water volume was reduced by half. Mono Lake's bizarre but productive ecosystem began to unravel: salinity greatly increased, nesting and migrating birds were threatened, fierce alkali dust storms became a feature of local weather.
