Nature Photography
Every Friday, we choose our favorite photo of the week from our Wildlife Photo of the Day website. This week we selected a bear sitting on the shore of Lake Clark. Photographer Nancy Arehart captured the moment it appears this Alaskan bear was praying for salmon.
Nature & Wildlife
There’s no doubt that today most adults and children spend more time indoors interacting with media and technology than participating in outdoor activities. Numerous studies have shown that spending time in nature is good for our physical and mental health. But what impact does it directly have on our creativity?

Gold and copper may hold lucrative prospects for some investors, but mining doesn’t pay out for Alaska’s Bristol Bay. The proposed open pit Pebble Mine near Katmai National Park would rob salmon, bears and people of their natural environment and resource-based sustenance.

Three commercial flights, a float plane, a two-hundred-ton marine vessel, and a raft; followed by a trek through swamps, rocky shorelines, and dense brush. This was my journey to the isolated wilderness of Alaska’s Katmai Peninsula. As a member of WWF’s Media & External Affairs team, I work from my desk in Washington D.C.
Travel Tales

“It is hard to say which part of our Ultimate Alaska Wildlife Photo Safari was my favorite since the whole experience was just amazing. Denali where ‘the mountain’ was out for a full day was magical! But the visit to Brooks Camp with the brown bears was mind-blowing!

“Watching the brown bears from the viewing platforms at Brooks Falls was truly memorable. Sub-adults trying to catch a salmon, cubs playing and climbing up and down trees, and mother bears charging to protect their cubs. But sharing the trails with the bears and having them walk right by me was surreal.

“Our two-week wildlife tour in Alaska was one of the best trips ever, filled with close viewing of grizzly bears, orca and humpback whales, puffins, moose, sea otters, dall sheep, mountain goats, an amazing variety of wildflowers, and spectacular glaciers and icebergs.
Alaska
It’s exactly the kind of wild natural scenery you envision when you picture “Alaska”—snow-capped peaks towering above a placid creek that gently winds its way through a verdant valley in the remote wilderness of the Alaska Peninsula.
