The Historic Grizzly

[brotherbear]

Grizzlies and Grizzled Old Men continued....
As inspiring as it is to read about the courage and tenacity of the grizzled old men featured in the previous chapters, there is also a sense of loss and discouragement. Some of these extraordinary patriarchs who stood in the gap to staunch the flow of grizzly bear blood have passed on, and others await their final sunset.
The good news is that the cupboard is not bare. Far from it, in fact, for a new breed of men and women have arisen to take up the cause of grizzly conservation. Most have been either directly mentored by these grizzled old men or indirectly by their writings and actions. Thanks to the groundwork laid by their predecessors, today's conservationists are fortunate to work for federal state, or private agencies, which furnish a comfortable salary. Reply
