Northwest Passages Book Club - What Bears Teach Us

This gorgeous book explores the complex behavioral characteristics of North America’s largest land carnivores by examining the bear-human relationship from the bear’s perspective. Sarah Elmeligi has been working with bears for nearly 20 years. After completing her master's research examining the impacts of bear-viewing tourism on bear behavior in the K’tzim-a-deen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary on the northern tip of the Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia, she completed her PhD studying grizzly bear habitat use of hiking trails in the Canadian Rocky Mountain national parks. Elmeligi is truly an interdisciplinary researcher and values incorporating the human dimension in her understanding of the bear-human relationship.
