Maya shared this video of her visit to Katmai National Park. The park’s bear population is not only a crucial aspect of its ecosystem but also a significant draw for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers. Katmai’s management practices aim to minimize human-bear conflicts, allowing these magnificent creatures to thrive. Rangers educate visitors on maintaining safe distances and respecting the bears’ space, ensuring a balance between tourism and conservation. When Jeanine and I visited Alaska, we also joined a bear-watching excursion, which remains one of our vacation’s highlights. I am looking forward to hearing Maya’s first-hand account of their experience.
