At a time when our relationship with the earth and all the species we share it with is in grave peril, the experiences of Pelee Islanders offer some solutions and hope for the future.

Told through the voices of 7th generation islanders, historians, species at risk scientists, and others making their living on the island, Species versus Spaces is the story of a small island community and its efforts to achieve balance between meeting the needs of people and the many rare and at-risk wild species that also call it home. Government policies isolating ecological concerns over loss of species and habitats from socioeconomic factors of island life have led, at times, to tense confrontations on the island.
