Berenbronnen
Voor Wij, beren heb ik veel bronnen geraadpleegd. Bovenal berendeskundigen zélf natuurlijk, die je allemaal achter in het boek terugvindt: Gabriella Fredriksson (berendeskundige en bosbeschermer), Tom Griffin (gids bij NcNeil River State Game Sanctuary and Refuge) José Kok (bioloog en berendeskundige), Christiaan van der Hoeven (panda-expert bij WWF), Ximena Vélez-Liendo (bioloog en brilbeerexpert), Thomas Sharp (bioloog, ecoloog en lippenbeerexpert bij Wildlife SOS) en Joris van de Ven (bioloog en berenkenner).
Ik las ook een hele reeks boeken, (vak)bladen en wetenschappelijke artikelen en keek natuurlijk veel berenbeelden. De belangrijkste bronnen vind je hier:
