Female Grizzly bear known as Paula, looking at her pups that were left with us while mom was fishing. Traveling with our bear expert @bradjosephsphotos @echengphoto and Al Vinjamur in Alaska for what turned out to be a life changing trip for me because of what we experienced, photographed and throughly enjoyed! Grizzly bears that have not been hunted another words their normal behavior is not how most films portray them. They are actually gentle giants! Today, the area where this beautiful momma grizzly bear was photographed Katmai National Park, one of the last truly wild places on the planet is under serious attack! 62 million salmon returned to this pristine crown jewel of America! But now our legislators have removed its protection and are trying to put one of the largest proposed gold and copper mines in the world there: Pebble Mine. If this is allowed to happen it will drive a stake in the heart of this great region, wiping out this incredible ecosystem! Please go to the link in my bio and help "Protect Wild Alaska from Pebble Mine" Join @paulnicklin @sealegacy and I in this very important fight. @jim_abernethy @wildlifevoiceinc #earth #grizzly #grizzlybear #saveplanet #savealaska #conservation #naturephotography #nature #alaska #katmainationalpark #katmai #savenature #nopebblemine #Bethechangetheworldneedsh (at Katmai National Park and Preserve-West Bound) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ZKdoHJz4j/?igshid=18lmsnrbz7epx
