The North American Bear Center is a nonprofit organization located in Ely, Minnesota. It was founded in 2007 by Lynn Rogers, a biologist and bear researcher, with a mission to advance the understanding, appreciation, and conservation of bears and their habitats. The center is home to several captive bears that serve as ambassadors for their wild counterparts, educating visitors about their behavior, ecology, and conservation challenges.

The exhibits at the North American Bear Center feature interactive displays, educational videos, and artifacts that showcase the natural history and cultural significance of bears in North America. Visitors can observe the bears in their naturalistic habitats, learn about their diet and feeding habits, and participate in guided tours and programs that promote wildlife education and conservation.

The center also conducts research on bears and their ecology, with a focus on understanding the behavior and communication of black bears in the wild. The research findings are shared with wildlife managers, conservationists, and the public to promote better understanding and management of bear populations.

Overall, the North American Bear Center is a unique and educational destination for anyone interested in learning about bears and their role in the ecosystem.
