If I asked you to picture a brown bear, there’s a good chance you’d image one of Alaska’s massive bears standing in a stream, fishing for salmon. Can you see it now? More likely than not, you’re picturing Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park and Preserve. Don’t know it by name? Well, I’m sure you’ll recognize it by sight.

Together, Katmai National Parks’s brown bears and sockeye salmon make a positive feedback loop that creates a system of resources benefitting the area’s wildlife, plant life, and ecosystem as a whole.
