Kaye is a black bear advocate in Asheville, North Carolina who feeds black bears on her property during the Fall bear hunting season to try to keep them safe from wandering into neighboring hunting grounds where hunters legally bait bears and hunt them with dogs.

Cities Gone Wild
Cities Gone Wild is an exploration of three savvy animals: black bears, coyotes and raccoons. Each of these urban carnivores are uniquely equipped to survive and even thrive in the human built landscape at a time when urbanization is decimating habitat for less adapted wildlife. I tracked these three carnivores in cities across the United States, to reveal how they are using our infrastructure and resources to carve out a unique place in society that might help them survive an uncertain future.
