In her new book, "The Spine of the Continent," Mary Ellen Hannibal looks at what she calls the "most ambitious wildlife conservation project ever undertaken." The initiative is an international effort to employ people to protect a network of 5,000 miles worth of conservation lands from northern Alaska's Brooks Range down through the Canadian and American Rockies into northern Mexico.

Hannibal will join The Daily Circuit Friday to discuss her work for the book. During her research, she traveled the length of the project learning more about the people working on the effort.

Kenyon Fields, strategy director for Wildlands Network, will also join the discussion.
