Nature and Wildlife Documentary: Silver Medal
Into the Sea of Okhotsk, off the northern Japan’s island of Hokkaido, protrudes the Shiretoko Peninsula.
The severe nature of the peninsula deters human intrusion and development. With no roads reaching the edge of the peninsula, it seems more like a small island floating upon the sea. Despite its small size, the peninsula has preserved a rich and bountiful ecosystem.
Reigning atop this ecosystem is the Brown Bear. Known to be fierce wild animals, we ponder the potential for brown bears to successfully coexist the humans.
