Remembering Bears Margot Raggett, Wildlife Photographers United

Remembering Bears is the seventh book in the Remembering Wildlife fundraising series, which has so far raised more than USD $1.2 million for conservation, the organizers have chosen for the first time to leave Africa and to feature bears. There are eight species of bear: American black bears, Andean bears, Asiatic black bears, brown bears, giant pandas, polar bears, sloth bears and sun bears. Their habitats range from forests to woodland, grasslands to sea ice and their behaviors reflect that too. Remembering Bears features images from more than 80 of the world’s best wildlife photographers, showing bears in their natural habitats from China to Peru, Alaska to Borneo.
