Bears have fascinated people since ancient times. The relationship
between bears and humans dates back thousands of years, during
which time we have also competed with bears for shelter and food.
In modern times, bears have come under pressure through
encroachment on their habitats, climate change, and illegal trade
in their body parts, including the Asian bear bile market. The IUCN
lists six bears as vulnerable or endangered, and even the least
concern species, such as the brown bear, are at risk of extirpation
in certain countries. The poaching and international trade of these
most threatened populations are prohibited, but still ongoing.
Covering all bears species worldwide, this beautifully illustrated
volume brings together the contributions of 200 international bear
experts on the ecology, conservation status, and management of the
Ursidae family. It reveals the fascinating long history of
interactions between humans and bears and the threats affecting
these charismatic species.
