Touratech sponsored ecologist Chris Morgan uses his Touratech TT-39 equipped BMW F650GS in a quest to save threatened bear populations around the world. Originally from Britain, the 39-year-old ecologist navigates rugged tracks to reach some of the most remote bear habitats on Earth.

Chris is Co-Director of the acclaimed Grizzly Bear Outreach Project in Washington’s North Cascades. He is also Executive Director of the nonprofit group Wildlife Media and is producing a feature-length documentary titled BEARTREK. The film chronicles Morgan’s motorcycle adventure across four continents to understand and conserve the most rare bears on Earth. These efforts are part of a broader campaign to raise awareness and funds for innovative conservation projects, including those featured in BEARTREK.

Watch the 90-second trailer for BEARTREK to see what’s caught the attention of PBS, Discovery Channel, and National Geographic at www.wildlifemedia.org.
