I am trying to get more informed about the opportunities and costs of tar sands development. As first steps, I am following this website and currently reading Nikiforuk's eye-opening book "Tar Sands."
I am trying to gather some accurate data on exactly how much life is being lost (animals, plants, watersheds, ecosytems), and whether any of this is recoverable.
Can you assist? How much wildlife was there before, and how much is being killed every day? How is the river being affected? I need to quanitify the losses in order to do proper research for a multimedia art exhibition on the tar sands that I am thinking of doing.
