Occupation(s)| ecologist, conservationist, TV host, public speaker, filmmaker, podcaster, and author
Known for| PBS Nature, bear research, environmental education, wildlife conservation, wilderness guiding, 'THE WILD with Chris Morgan' podcast

Chris Morgan is a British-born ecologist, conservationist, TV host, filmmaker, podcaster, and author. His ecology and conservation work focuses on bears and other large carnivores worldwide. Over the last 25 years Morgan has worked as a wildlife researcher, wilderness guide, and environmental educator on every continent where bears exist.[1][2]

He emigrated to the US from the UK in 1997, and in the year 2000 co-founded the award-winning community-based education program, the Grizzly Bear Outreach Project (GBOP; now Western Wildlife Outreach, WWO), which was designed to bring scientifically credible information about grizzly bears and recovery to local communities of the North Cascades in Washington State.[1]

Through his work as a wilderness guide he has escorted hundreds of people into wild locations around the world to share the wonder of nature, and especially large carnivores.

Morgan has been a featured television host and/or contributor in productions for PBS, National Geographic Television, BBC, Discovery Channel, and has appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman.[3][4] In addition to TV hosting he has also become a familiar voice of the television series PBS Nature having narrated numerous films since 2011 on topics ranging from lions to pelicans and the Australian outback.

Chris authored the book Bears of the Last Frontier. This large format publication describes the experience, the bears, and behind-the-scenes insight from the production of the PBS Nature and National Geographic episodes of the same title that Chris co-created and hosted.[1][5]

Chris is the co-founder of Wildlife Media,[6] a non profit organization that produced BEARTREK, a feature-length documentary that follows Chris’ journey by motorcycle to Alaska, Peru, the Canadian north, and Borneo.[6] The film's campaign has generated support and exposure for critical conservation projects in these areas. Wildlife Media also focuses on finding and supporting young conservationists as “Ambassadors” for their passion species.

## Early life

[edit]

Morgan was born 10 November 1968 in Wigan, England.

At the age of 18, while working at a summer camp in New Hampshire, Morgan met a bear biologist who invited him to help tranquilize, process and track American black bears at a study site in northern New Hampshire.[2] Afterward, he changed his college focus from graphic design to ecology. At 19, he took a road trip to Northern Spain in search of bears and wolves to complete a report required for his Higher National Diploma in Conservation Management.[7] He also took a six-month placement position with the Northwest Territories Department of Renewable Resources in 1991 to assist with grizzly bear, wolf, and muskox research. Also in his early 20s, Morgan traveled to the Canadian Rockies to collar and track grizzly bears for a research project near Banff National Park for two consecutive seasons, tracking grizzly bears by foot for over 2000 miles.[5] In the 1990s, Morgan studied Spanish brown bears in the Cantabrian Mountains of Spain, grizzly bears in Calgary and the Northwest Territories of Canada, and performed spectacled bear study viability research in Ecuador.[7][8] In 1994, at the age of 26, Morgan joined the Himalayan Wildlife Project in Pakistan to research the brown bears of the Deosai Plateau.[5]

## Education

[edit]

Morgan has received a Higher National Diploma in Conservation Management from Farnborough College of Technology, Farnborough, UK, a Bachelor of Science in Applied Ecology from East London, UK and a master's degree in Advanced Ecology from the University of Durham, UK.[1] For his master's thesis research, Morgan studied female red squirrels in the southern Kielder Forest, England.[9]

## Conservation work

[edit]

### Wildlife Media

[edit]

Morgan is the Executive Director of Wildlife Media, a non-profit production company whose debut feature film 'BEARTREK' promotes global bear conservation and education.[1]

### GBOP/WWO

[edit]

Morgan was co-founder of the Grizzly Bear Outreach Project (GBOP), now Western Wildlife Outreach (WWO) in 2002. The non-profit organization began with grizzly bear safety and coexistence education efforts, but has since expanded to include wolf and cougar education.[1][10]

## TV and film – selected works

[edit]

### 'BEARTREK' (film)

[edit]

Morgan's feature-length film 'BEARTREK' is an independent documentary/adventure/travel film located in Alaska, Peru, Borneo, and Manitoba, Canada that focuses on four bear species and four biologists who study them.[1][10] Morgan conceived 'BEARTREK' as a film and campaign that would support bear conservation efforts around the world and is a collaboration between Morgan (Executive producer/host/narrator) and nature-cinematographer/director, Joe Pontecorvo (Producer/director).[1] The 'BEARTREK' film documents the scientific studies of Robyn Appleton and her Spectacled Bear Conservation Society and their conservation efforts in Northern Peru; Dr. Nick Lunn on polar bears in Manitoba, Canada; Siew Te Wong on sun bears in Borneo; and Chris Morgan's experiences with brown/grizzly bears in Alaska.[11][12][13][14] The documentary also features an element of adventure and discovery as Morgan rides his motorcycle to study sites. The 'BEARTREK' campaign is "a giant experiment that brings a new approach to raising awareness and funding for conservation through a high end theatrical film, a campaign, and a social media movement."[1]

### 'Born In The Rockies' (international TV series)

[edit]

Morgan narrated this award winning series in 2022 for international release. 'Born in the Rockies' follows the lives of several courageous animal families as they struggle to raise their young in one of the most challenging habitats on Earth – North America's Rocky Mountains. The film explores the inner lives of family life,  and reveals just how challenging it can be for a youngster growing up in the Rockies. They must learn how to navigate their environment, understand the rules of their society, and face the challenges of a rapidly changing world. A production of PONTECORVO PRODUCTIONS and THE WNET GROUP in co-production with TERRA MATER FACTUAL STUDIOS in association with PBS and CPB receiving world wide recognition including the following: 2022 Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards 2022 (Cannes, France):[15] Gold Dolphin (Category: Nature and Wildlife) New York Wild Film Festival 2023 (New York, USA): Finalist Episode 01;[16] Mountainfilm International Filmfestival Graz 2022 (Graz, Austria): Official Selected Episode 02;[17] FINN - Festival International Nature Namur 2022 (Namur, Belgium): Official Selected Episode 02;[18] Sondrio Festival 2022 (Sondrio, Italy): Official Selected Episode 02;[19] WFFR - Wildlife Film Festival Rotterdam 2022 (Rotterdam, Netherlands): Official Selected Episode 01;[20] MAFF - Matsalu Nature Film Festival 2022 (Lihula, Estonia): Official Selected Episode 01; International Wildlife Film Festival 2022 (Montana, USA): Finalist (Category: Youth Program)

### 'Why Bears?' (film)

[edit]

Morgan co-wrote and narrated this short film made for teachers, scientists, non-profits and people interested in bears and preserving wild spaces. The film was made possible by an anonymous donation and was produced in partnership with Wildlife Media and TriFilm. The film's premise is that “What's good for bears is good for people and the planet.”[10][21][22] It explains the ecological and conservation roles that bears can play, and that by protecting them it is conceivable to protect the area represented by their global distribution - about one third of the planet's land mass (does not include circumpolar ice region occupied by polar bears).

### 'Animal Homes' (PBS Nature TV series)

[edit]

On April 8, 15, and 22, 2015, a three-part series titled 'Animal Homes' hosted and narrated by Morgan aired on PBS 'NATURE.'[23] 'Animal Homes' examines the various structures, building methods, and social networks utilized by animals in the wild to protect themselves and their young from predators, invaders, and the natural elements.[24] The series' first episode ('The Nest') focuses on what birds build to house their clutches of eggs using only their beaks and feet and the social interactions they confront while incubating and raising their young. Morgan is shown trying his hand at building a structurally sound nest, testing the strength of other avian structures, and presenting the collection of bird's nests owned by the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale University.[25] Episode two ('Location Location Location'), examines the importance of choosing an appropriate environment for an animal's home and the strategies employed in maximizing their success. In the episode, Morgan observes the dam and lodge building rituals of beavers, the protective relationship between hummingbird bird nests and their proximity to those of raptors, and takes part in the processing of a mother black bear and her cubs who had been hibernating in the forests of Maryland.[23] Morgan is featured in the third episode ('Animal Cities') observing a colony of nesting puffins in northwest Scotland, scuba diving off of Corsica to inspect the complex social and reproductive strategies of the oscillated wrasse, and excavating the fungal garden of a leaf-cutter ant nest in the rainforest.[23]

### 'The Last Orangutan Eden' (PBS Nature TV)

[edit]

Morgan hosted[26] and narrated 'The Last Orangutan Eden' for PBS 'NATURE' which aired on February 25, 2015.[27] To make this documentary about the dwindling population of orangutans and the efforts of conservationists to protect them, Morgan traveled to Northern Sumatra for filming. Morgan can be seen interacting with young orangutan orphans, searching the forest for wild orangutans and their nests, and accompanying the conservationist Ian Singleton on a journey to relocate a rehabilitated orangutan candidate-for-release.[28] 'The Last Orangutan Eden' won an Emmy Award in 2016[29] for “Outstanding Music & Sound.”
