We are casting our lines this afternoon as we head back to the Great Bear Rainforest of British Columbia. #Follow our adventures on both this feed and on @paulnicklen

It is one of my favorite places on this great Earth. My good friend and guide, Marven Robinson from the Gitga’at First Nation of Hartley Bay introduced me to this Kermode Bear (also known as a Spirit Bear). We called him “Friendly Bear” because he acted as if we were not there. We literally got to be a fly on the wall as he went about his business which is every wildlife photographers dream. Marven knows the bear well and explained to me that if we managed to get good pictures of these stunning bears for our story in @ナショナルジオグラフィック then we would be able to bring global attention to an ecosystem that needs protection from the threats of oil tankers, pipelines and natural gas production. Fortunately, we got the cover story in the magazine which has gone a long way in helping protect this fragile coastal ecosystem. Spending time with this bear as it fished and walked through the forest was one of the highlights of my photographic journey. The photograph was taken by friend and field companion, @jedweingarten With @Cristina Mittermeier #greatbearsea #gratitude #thejourney #nature #mpa #naturelovers #picoftheday #photooftheday #followme
