“BEAR TALES” is a collection of photographs which celebrate one of the most symbolic creatures in the animal kingdom and the fragile ecosystems that it inhabits. In the last 10 years, photographer Daisy Gilardini, has roamed extensively in bear country, from the Arctic to Alaska and the Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia, focusing on photographing while studying and understanding the challenges the three species of North American bears, grizzly, polar, black and kermode bear, are facing. The book narrates fascinating tales behind the images without overlooking controversial issues such as trophy hunting, poaching and habitat loss.
