Posted August 7, 2009 , trackback

) Boulder, Colorado ? July 30, 2009 ? From stalking the mystical Spirit Bear ? a rare white subspecies of black bears living in a remote tract of Canadian coastal rainforest ? to viewing endangered giant pandas in China to traveling among hundreds of polar bears on the shores of Hudson Bay, the best bear tours, like Natural Habitat Adventures’ small-group eco tours, provide an intimate experience of these impressive animals, closely tied to the complex conservation issues that threaten them.

- See endangered giant pandas in natural habitat in eastern China’s Bifengxia Panda Base, and the Asiatic Black Bear ? known as the Moon Bear ? in Chengdu. The Wild and Ancient China tour also includes man-made wonders: the Terracotta Army and the Great Wall. 12 days, September 2009 (May ? September 2010), $6,995, for 15 people.
