		<description><![CDATA["Millions of people, from royalty to your next door neighbor, travel the world over to 'feel' bear country, often because their own bear country is gone" -– Dr. Brian Horejsi, Dr. Barrie Gilbery and Dr. Lance Craighead. One of the most awe-inspiring sights a human may ever experience is the sight of an adult grizzly foraging in a crystal-clear river for salmon or pausing on a summer’s day to sample the sweet fruit of a berry bush. Yet the British Columbia government does not seem to think of these magnificent beasts as much other than grist for the economic mill, even though they have openly stated that grizzlies are "perhaps the greatest symbol of the wilderness (whose) survival will be the greatest testimony to our environmental commitment."]]></description>
