EDITOR’S NOTE: Wildlife Art Journal magazine celebrates wildlife photography and the tradition of investigative journalism, the kind that weaves together compelling environmental storylines with art. It forms an intersection of content that one does not find in other art or nature magazines. We are launching a new ongoing blog called Great American Bear Story that focuses on the life and death struggle of arguably the most famous grizzly bear family in the world.

Each dispatch henceforth will feature accompanying images from world-class photographers that have followed the movements of these bruins.
This will be an ongoing series. Please check back here for a complete listing of articles.An Introduction
