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.
BEARS of the last frontier... The Deosai Plateau, one of the highest plateaus in the world, nestled among giant Himalayan peaks, harbors one of the world's least known bear populations. Like their relatives in Spain and the Canadian Arctic, these bears are well adapted to their local environment: in this case, an incredibly hostile treeless plain at 14,000 feet where a diet of sedges and whistling marmots makes life possible. My time here ( northern Pakistan ) opened my eyes to the passion people from different walks of life have for bears.
