Great Bear Rainforest Rave
A kermode bear (Ursus Americanus Kermodei) in British Columbia's great bear rainforest, British Columbia, Canada.
Known as a spirit bear, they are revered by first nations and long a part of their cultural mythology. These bears are not albino, rather a subspecies of the American black bear. Subsisting primarily on a diet of salmon, their habitat and survival would be severely threatened by construction of a pipeline to move oil from the tar sands to the coast. |
