Backyard Bears: Conservation, Habitat Changes, and the Rise of Urban Wildlife (Scientists in the Field)

This juvenile nonfiction book for readers 10 to 12 follows Amy Cherrix’s time with scientists investigating black bears (and other animals around the world). These bears are increasingly living closer to humans, in some cases humans have been moving closer and closer into their habitats. Once an endangered species, North Carolina has become a successful case in preserving and growing their population — but with less habitat available. She introduces these dynamics and dilemmas to prove that conservations do work and interest the next budding generation of conservationists to give it their all to protect the vulnerable animal populations around the globe!
