Animals Say Hello, but Do They Say Goodbye?
Brianna Randall: Ximena Velez-Liendo is saving Andean bears with honey: The self-described “bear-ologist” has found ways to help rural communities and bears coexist
"In 1998, at the age of 22, conservation biologist Ximena Velez-Liendo came face-to-face with South America’s largest carnivore on her first day of field research in #Bolivia. Her life changed forever when she turned around to see “this beautiful, amazing bear coming out of the forest,” Velez-Liendo says. “It was like love at first sight.” She thought in that moment: 'If I can do anything for you, I’ll do it.'"
