Bears!

Bears!

Teddy bears. Paddington. Winnie-the-Pooh. Somewhere along the way, bears wandered out of the wilderness and straight into our imaginations — and our hearts. But outside of the storybooks, the remaining species of bear face a difficult reality: shrinking habitats, poaching, and deadly encounters with our species. Reuters journalist Gloria Dickie explores that reality in the book Eight Bears: Mythic Past and Imperiled Future. 📱 Follow The Next Big Idea Daily on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen 📩 Want more bite-sized insights from the best new nonfiction delivered straight to your inbox?
