The ecology of fear was operative when a large grizzly left fresh (not 5-minute old) sign of its presence on the trail just ahead of us, as we were heading in to examine a wolf den (making clear that it had been watching us from the edge of the woods, while we stood on a river bank discussing the history of the landscape with Rob Watt, recently retired Park wildlife warden), or when I hiked alone in grizzly territory the next day. Shorn of our weapons, we find ourselves somewhat beneath the top of the food chain. βWilderness areasβ without the functional presence of large carnivores seem unworthy of that name, once one has hiked with the fear of getting eaten. https://jacket2.org/commentary/dark-ecology roving packs of humans sneaking slinking around sleeping with one eye open knowing they are in someone else's territory
