EIGHT BEARS
A global exploration of the eight remaining species of bears—and the dangers they face.
Back in 2014 Gloria tagged along with CBC’s Executive Director, Brenda Lee, while she was working on her master's degree in journalism at CU-Boulder.
That project eventually got her onto the wider bruin beat — reporting on Yellowstone grizzlies for High Country News and then encroaching polar bears up in Churchill, Canada. Any now she has brought her insights and experience to report on the issues facing the world's remaining eight bear species — but it all began during those early days hanging out with the Boulder Bear Coalition!

LIVING WITH BEARS
Colorado author Linda Masterson dispels myths, replaces fear with respect, and lays the foundation for improving human-black bear relations with an inside look at the fascinating world of these highly intelligent, adaptable and resourceful animals found in 41 U.S. states and every province in Canada. With over 900,000 black bears roaming North America today, people from Florida to British Columbia are encountering bears more often, and as a result, human-bear conflicts are on the rise. This guidebook to life in bear country is packed with a wealth of useful and often surprising information, and down-to-earth advice from bear experts all over the continent, along with real-life stories from wildlife managers, organizations and communities who've discovered creative, workable ways for people and bears to share space.

Beyond the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation: From Lethal to Compassionate Conservation (The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series) 1st ed. 2022 Edition
by Anja Heister
The North American Wildlife Conservation Model (NAM) is the driver of a strong anthropocentric stance, which has legalized an ongoing, annual exploitation of hundreds of millions of wild animals, who are killed in the United States through trapping, hunting and other lethal practices. Increasingly, the American public opposes the killing of wild animals for recreation, trophies and profit but has little―if any―knowledge of the Model. The purpose of this book is to empower the public with knowledge about the NAM’s insufficiencies and to help expedite the shift from lethal to compassionate conservation, an endeavour urgently needed particularly under the threats of climate change, human population growth and accelerating plant and animal species extinctions.
