World Bear Day (March 23rd) raises awareness about bear conservation, highlighting threats like habitat loss and poaching and promoting efforts to protect these vital species and their ecosystems.

A magical moment unfolded during my Ultimate Brown Bears workshop at the start of Alaska's golden hour when a Brown Bear Cub approached my group to show off its fresh Salmon. There was no hiding its excitement as this cub shook its head back and forth, often looking towards us as if inviting us to play.
