Sequoia National Park preserves and protects some of the oldest and largest trees on the planet, as well as Sierra Nevada ecosystems ranging from over 200 caves to the highest peak in North America. Much of the park is habitat for the American black bear (which can also be brown, red, or blonde). The park originally published a Bears of Sequoia film in the early 2000s. The film was popular and helpful in reducing negative bear-human interactions, but the style and quality of the film became outdated. The Fund for People in Parks provided a grant to the Sequoia Parks Conservancy for an updated version of the film to be made by the original filmmaker. The new and more compelling film better conveys messages about proper food storage that are important to the well-being of black bears and safety of visitors, as well as providing moments of awe and wonder that celebrate the species.
