Description
Bears have long been an integral part of human culture and memory. From ancient folklore to modern-day icons, these majestic creatures continue to captivate us. However, as humans and bears come into closer contact, our relationship is reaching a critical point. Eight of the world's eight remaining bear species are threatened with extinction. In "Eight Bears", journalist Gloria Dickie embarks on a global journey to explore each bear's story, taking readers on a path from cloud forests to ice floes, jungles to backwoods. Along the way, she meets key figures in modern conservation efforts, revealing the challenges bears face as they contend with climate change and encroaching human populations. Through her travels and observations, Dickie offers a nuanced look at our complex relationship with these magnificent mammals. This deeply reported book delivers a clear warning about what we risk losing if we don't learn to live alongside the animals that have shaped our cultures and geographies.
