A white Kermode bear and her black cub search for salmon.

HELP SAVE THIS MOTHER BEARS RAINFOREST HOME

The track below is made from the original footprint left by this white mother bear as she searched, with her two hungry black cubs for salmon on a B.C.s coastal estuary.
    The original cast of this spirit bears front foot was taken from a paw print in the sand by bear biologist and tracking expert Wayne McCrory, just moments after he took this photo. Wayne has headed the Valhalla Wilderness Societys work that saw the creation of a 212,000 ha Spirit Bear Conservancy complex on the B.C. coast in 2006.
     So far, in cooperation with other groups and First Nations, the society has been successful in preserving well over one million acres of old growth temperate rainforest for bears and incredible biodiversity.

The spirit bear is a subspecies of the North America black bear, and one of the most rare and beautiful bears in the world. Found nowhere else on earth, these white and black phase bears are at risk from loss of habitat through logging. Your purchase of a spirit bear track helps to protect the habitat of the spirit bear as five percent of each sale is donated to the Valhalla Wilderness Society to help further its conservation programs. You receive a colour 3 x 6 gift card of the image below with the purchase of each spirit bear track.
