There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Howard Copenhaver's name, like that of Bud Cheff and Bud Moore, is little known in today's high-profile world of eco-bear warriors, but to wildlife biologists and bear experts, his contributions to the ultimate success of the grizzly bear are considered priceless. Howard literally stood in the gap for the grizzly at a time when hate and fear, and bullets and strychnine, threatened to extinguish its spirit from the land.
