Living Together WITH Wild Animals!
In this E-book, I discuss the four underlying pillars (or key principles) of how you can learn to live with wild animals. These also indicate the position of Bear at Work in the sense of what she stands for.
Learning to live together with wild animals is possible on the basis of the four following key principles:
B – behaviour
E – education
A – awareness
R – response-able-practice

What do others say about me?
“Susan has made a significant contribution to the research process of the documentary ALFA by sharing her knowledge of human-animal conflicts with us and reflecting extensively about them. We approached the relationship between humans and wild animals from different angles. We talked about interests and policies, but also about ethical issues and feelings. This ensured that we, as creators, continued to look at the subject of our documentary with an open and critical eye.”

Documentary makers of ALFA
“For a study about communication between animals and humans, Susan made time to talk to us about this topic. As a layman researching a subject that takes years to study is difficult and tough. During the talk/interview, based on her experience and research, she told us in a very accessible and enthusiastic way about relevant topics regarding the relationship between animals and humans. This broadened our basic knowledge and made us realize what we can learn from animals.”

“What Susan shared made -I expect- everyone who attended start thinking about a sustainable future. An evening without polarization. Much respect for the way you told your story and guided the discussion.”
