Eventually—without the benefit of formal training in wildlife management or ecology—he become one of the world’s leading experts on brown bears, the product of an unprecedented experiment in peaceful coexistence. This book celebrates Aumiller’s achievement, telling the story of his decades with the bears alongside his own remarkable photographs. As both professional wildlife managers and ordinary citizens alike continue to struggle to bridge the gap between humans and the wild creatures we’ve driven out, In Wild Trust is an inspiring account of what we can achieve.Kodiak bearfast(OCoLC)fst00988268Kodiak bearEffect of human beings onAlaskaMcNeil River State Game SanctuaryKodiak bearAlaskaMcNeil River State Game SanctuaryAlaskaMcNeil River State Game SanctuaryfastMcNeil River State Game Sanctuary (Alaska)Kodiak bear.Kodiak bearEffect of human beings onKodiak bear599.784Fair Jeff1800820Aumiller Larry.Fair JeffMdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910959356603321In Wild Trust4345770UNINA
