Humans and bears - Wild encounters

BEARs of the last frontier... Journal Entry, Anchorage: Being in Anchorage amid this curious mix of people and bears has made me think a lot this week about the relationship that we have with the wild. It's like the front line here: the line between bears and humans. The question is how much of our world can they tolerate, and how much of theirs are we willing to accept? 
Humans the world over have become so isolated from their common past: a time when we were in tune with the natural world, among wild animals. And in the grand scheme of human evolution, it was yesterday.   Reply
