	SELKIRK MOUNTAINS - LoveToKnow Article on SELKIRK MOUNTAINS
		Though often spoken of as part of the Rocky Mountain system, they are really distinct, and belong to an older geological epoch, consisting mainly of crystalline or highly metamorphosed rocks, granites, gneiss, schists; their outline too is rounder and less serrated than that of the Rockies.

		Lord Selkirk and family experienced two exclusive worlds: the best of Edinburgh and London at the turn of the 18th century and the worst Canadian frontier when it was the pawn of fur traders.
		Lord Selkirk was too intellectual and well born to fit comfortably into the group of swashbuckling backers of British American development who made fortunes on large profits from the fur trade.
		Selkirk had such designs in London without considering this reaction in Britain much less of North West's potent leaders in Canada who felt that their depended on keeping the Red River Valley wild.

	Cats and Kittens Magazine Selkirk Rex Breed Profile
		When Jeri Newman of Livingston, Montana, introduced the Selkirk rex to the world in the late 1980s, she explained that breed was the namesake of a mountain range in Wyoming, close to the town where the matriarch of these curly-haired cats had been born.
		The Selkirk's renown as the first cat breed named after a mountain range was short lived, however, because some stickler for detail pointed out that the Selkirk range extends from northern Idaho into southeastern British Columbia.
		The Selkirk rex, the third rex cat to appear on the North American show bench, is markedly different from the two rex breeds that preceded it - the Cornish rex and the Devon rex.

	Selkirk Ecosystem Grizzly Bear Recovery Project
		The small population of approximately thirty grizzly bears in the Selkirk and Purcell Mountains of northern Idaho and eastern Washington State is one of the last five remnant populations of these magnificent mammals in the lower 48 states.
		The Selkirk Project seeks to quantify the population density, reproductive biology and causes of mortality of the grizzly bears that live in these mountains.
		The research has shown that in the past the Selkirk population could not sustain the rate of man induced mortality that in some years constituted half of all Selkirk grizzly bear deaths, and was the main cause of this population's decline.

	Article:Selkirk College namesakes: a mountain range and a humanitarian
		The college was named for the Selkirk Mountains, which are almost encircled by the Columbia River, which loops around the northern edge of the range.
		Lord Selkirk brought people from Ireland and Scotland to settle in Canada, and between 1811 and 1815 he established an agricultural settlement in the middle of fur-trading territory at Red River.
		Now admittedly, this may be a stretch: but knowing about Lord Selkirk’s compassion and the way education set one of the cornerstones of his life, one can’t help believe he would be proud to know his values are being carried on by an institution bearing his name.

		At issue is the last remaining cluster of woodland caribou that claim parts of the Selkirk mountain range in northern Idaho and northeastern Washington their home.
		As evidenced by their rapidly diminishing range in the face of human expansion—historically, caribou populated much of the northern United States—caribou do not co-exist well with their two-legged neighbors.
		Allowing further logging activity in the one area where the caribou still range in the lower 48 states would be a mistake for several reasons, says Boggs.

		Woodland caribou once ranged in New England, the Upper Midwest, and as far south as the Salmon River in Idaho.
		Even in BC, where caribou are relatively abundant, their range has shrunk dramatically as logging, development, and other habitat disruption makes itself felt in the Canadian Rockies.
		In the Selkirk Mountains, for instance, clearcut logging, together with the road network to support it, reduced high-quality habitat and forage for the caribou.
