The document summarizes information about the Kermode bear, also known as the spirit bear. It is a rare white variant of the American black bear found on Princess Royal Island and Gribbell Island in coastal British Columbia. With an estimated population of only 400-1000 bears, it is an endangered species threatened by deforestation and overfishing which could impact their isolated habitat and food sources. Conservation groups like the Spirit Bear Youth Coalition are working to increase awareness and protection of the Kermode bear.
