Chris Morgan

Over the last 20 years Chris Morgan has worked as a wildlife researcher, wilderness guide, and environmental educator on every continent where bears exist. From icy polar bear country at 81° North to tropical Andean bear forests sitting on the equator, Chris has sought adventure among the focus animals of his life – the bears of the world. Chris is the featured character, host and narrator in the PBS NATURE special that he helped to create, “Bears of the Last Frontier.” He owns an ecology and environmental education organization in Bellingham, Wash., and is the co-founder of the Grizzly Bear Outreach Project (GBOP). Chris has also been a frequent lecturer at Western Washington University’s Huxley College of Environmental Science in Bellingham. He has a bachelor’s of science degree in Applied Ecology (East London, UK) and a master’s in Advanced Ecology (Durham, UK). In 2003, the Environmental Education Association of Washington honored Chris as Outstanding Environmental Educator of the year. Despite his varied activities within the realm of wildlife conservation, Chris says that he is never happier than when immersed in bear country – “the real world” as he calls it.
