I'm Lieve Galle, a Belgian herbalist and wild plant forager since 2002 and host of the Wilde Wieven podcast (in Dutch).
In this WYLDE Podcast I talk to fellow herbalists and foragers in Europe.
We deal with different plant species and different cultural approaches towards plants, but what we have in common is that we all want to transform plant blindness into plant wisdom. Together we can have a greater impact on restoring the ancient link between people and plants.
If you're ready to find out what you've never been told, but what your soul already knows, then welcome to WYLDE. -
Amidst the dense forests and rugged landscapes of North America, a remarkable creature roams, often unseen but forever etched in the tapestry of the continent's wilderness: the black bear (Ursus americanus). With their glossy black fur, curious nature, and adaptable spirit, black bears have long captivated the imagination of humans, serving as emblems of the untamed wild and the mysteries that lie within. From the deciduous forests of the eastern United States to the coniferous woodlands of the Pacific Northwest, black bears have carved out a niche as one of the most successful and widespread large mammals in North America. Their story is one of resilience, adaptability, and the enduring power of nature in the face of an ever-changing world. Evolutionary History and Taxonomy Black bears are members of the family Ursidae, which includes eight extant species of bears worldwide. The black bear's lineage can be traced back to the Etruscan bear (Ursus etruscus), which inhabited Europe during the Pliocene epoch, approximately 5.3 to 2.6 million years ago. Over time, the ancestors of modern black bears migrated to North America via the Bering Land Bridge, evolving and adapting to the diverse habitats they encountered. Today, black bears are found throughout much of North America, from Canada to Mexico, and are considered a distinct species from their close relative, the Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus), which inhabits parts of Asia. Within the species Ursus americanus, there are several recognized subspecies, each adapted to the unique ecological conditions of their range. Physical Characteristics and Adaptations Despite their name, black bears exhibit a wide range of coat colors, from jet black to cinnamon, blonde, and even white in the rare Kermode or spirit bear of British Columbia. Adults typically weigh between 200 and 600 pounds (90 to 270 kg), with males being larger than females. They have a stocky build, with a long snout, small eyes, and rounded ears. Black bears possess a number of adaptations that allow them to thrive in their diverse habitats. Their powerful, curved claws enable them to climb trees, dig for food, and defend themselves when necessary. They have an acute sense of smell, which they use to locate food sources and navigate their surroundings. Additionally, their teeth are adapted for an omnivorous diet, with sharp canines for meat and flat molars for grinding plant matter. One of the most remarkable adaptations of black bears is their ability to hibernate during the winter months. By slowing their metabolism and reducing their body temperature, bears can conserve energy and survive on their stored fat reserves for several months. During this time, they do not eat, drink, urinate, or defecate, making hibernation an efficient survival strategy in regions with harsh winters. Habitat and Distribution Black bears are highly adaptable and can thrive in a variety of habitats, from dense forests to open meadows, and from swamps to mountainous terrain. They are found throughout much of North America, with their range extending from Alaska and Canada in the north to Mexico in the south, and from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific. The distribution of black bears is largely determined by the availability of suitable habitat and food sources. They require large expanses of undeveloped land with diverse vegetation and ample opportunities for foraging and denning. As human development continues to encroach on bear habitat, black bears have demonstrated a remarkable ability to coexist with humans, sometimes even thriving in suburban and urban areas where food is readily available. Feeding Ecology and Behavior Black bears are opportunistic omnivores, meaning they eat a wide variety of plant and animal matter depending on what is available in their environment. Their diet varies seasonally and can include berries, nuts, roots, grasses, insects, fish, small mammals, and carrion. In some regions, black bears also rely on human food sources, such as garbage, pet food, and agricultural crops, which can lead to conflicts with people. Throughout the year, black bears undergo significant changes in their feeding behavior to cope with seasonal food availability. In the spring, when food is scarce, bears emerge from hibernation and focus on finding high-protein foods, such as newborn ungulates and early-emerging vegetation. As summer progresses and fruits and nuts become abundant, bears shift their diet to take advantage of these high-calorie food sources, gaining weight rapidly in preparation for winter. Black bears are generally solitary animals, with the exception of mothers and their cubs. They have a hierarchical social structure, with dominant males occupying the most productive habitats and mating with multiple females. Females, in turn, are responsible for rearing their cubs and teaching them the skills they need to survive on their own. Reproduction and Life Cycle Black bears have a unique reproductive strategy known as delayed implantation. Mating occurs in the spring or early summer, but the fertilized egg does not immediately implant in the uterus. Instead, it remains dormant until the fall, when the female's body determines whether she has enough fat reserves to support pregnancy and lactation. If the female is in good condition, the egg will implant, and the cubs will be born in the winter den.
Black bear cubs are born blind, hairless, and weighing less than a pound (0.5 kg). They are entirely dependent on their mother's milk and care for survival. Cubs remain with their mother for about 18 months, learning crucial survival skills such as foraging, climbing, and avoiding predators. After this time, the cubs disperse to establish their own territories, and the mother is ready to mate again. Female black bears typically reach sexual maturity at around 3 to 5 years of age, while males mature slightly later, at 4 to 6 years. The lifespan of black bears in the wild can vary greatly depending on factors such as habitat quality, food availability, and human-related mortality, but they can live up to 30 years or more. Conservation and Human Interaction Black bears have a complex history of interaction with humans, ranging from reverence and cultural significance to persecution and conflict. In many Indigenous cultures across North America, black bears are considered sacred animals, often associated with healing, wisdom, and spiritual power. These traditional ecological knowledge systems have played a vital role in shaping the relationship between bears and people for thousands of years. However, as European colonization and settlement expanded across the continent, black bears increasingly came into conflict with human activities. They were hunted for their meat, fur, and fat, and were often seen as a threat to livestock and crops. Bounty systems and unregulated hunting led to significant declines in black bear populations in many parts of their range. In the 20th century, changing attitudes towards wildlife and the implementation of conservation measures, such as regulated hunting and habitat protection, helped to stabilize and recover many black bear populations. Today, black bears are considered a species of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), with stable or increasing populations in most of their range. Despite this success, black bears still face ongoing challenges, primarily related to human-bear conflicts and habitat loss. As human development continues to expand into bear habitat, encounters between bears and people are becoming more frequent, often resulting in property damage, injury, or even death for both bears and humans. Managing these conflicts through education, bear-proof waste management, and land-use planning is crucial for ensuring the long-term coexistence of black bears and people. Looking to the future, the conservation of black bears will require a multifaceted approach that addresses the complex social, ecological, and economic factors that shape the relationship between bears and humans. This will involve ongoing research to better understand black bear ecology, behavior, and population dynamics, as well as the development of innovative strategies for reducing human-bear conflicts and promoting coexistence. Education and outreach will also play a critical role in fostering a greater appreciation for black bears and their place in the natural world. By teaching people about bear biology, behavior, and the importance of protecting bear habitat, we can help to build a culture of coexistence that values the presence of these magnificent animals on the landscape. Additionally, the integration of Indigenous knowledge and perspectives into black bear conservation and management will be essential for developing culturally relevant and sustainable strategies for protecting bears and their habitats. By learning from the deep ecological knowledge and cultural practices of Indigenous peoples, we can gain valuable insights into how to live alongside black bears in a way that honors their intrinsic value and ecological importance. Ultimately, the future of black bears will depend on our willingness to coexist with them and to protect the wild places they call home. By working together to address the challenges facing black bears and their habitats, we can help to ensure that these enigmatic dwellers of the forest continue to thrive for generations to come. From the misty forests of the Pacific Northwest to the hardwood groves of the Appalachian Mountains, black bears have long captured the hearts and imaginations of those who share their world. Their remarkable adaptability, resilience, and enduring presence on the landscape serve as a testament to the power and beauty of the natural world. As we face the challenges of the 21st century, it is more important than ever to recognize the value of black bears and the ecosystems they inhabit. By investing -

Sinds de wolf zich in 2019 weer in Nederland vestigde, neemt de weerstand toe. Schapenhouders zijn het zat en willen wolven die hun vee aanvallen afschieten. En op de Veluwe en in Drenthe durven mensen hun kinderen door de komst van de wolf niet meer door het bos te laten fietsen. Maar tegelijkertijd zijn boswachters en veel natuurliefhebbers ontzettend blij met de terugkeer. Door te jagen op herten en zwijnen houdt de wolf het bos gezond.
NU.nl-verslaggever Job van der Plicht reist door het territorium van de wolf. Hij zoekt uit wat de wolf doet met de mensen die er dagelijks mee te maken hebben. Verscheurd door de wolf gaat over de mysterieuze dood van een wolf op de Veluwe, een dolblije boswachter en de tijdbom die in Drenthe tikt. We moeten ons land voor het eerst in 150 jaar weer delen met een groot roofdier. Maar hoe?
