what about smokey the bear article makes it a biography, rather than an autobiography
Answers
Answer:
Smokey Bear was born on Aug. 9, 1944, when the U.S. Forest Service and the Ad Council agreed that a fictional bear would be the symbol for their joint effort to promote forest fire prevention. ... Then in the spring of 1950, in the Capitan Mountains of New Mexico, a young bear cub found himself caught in a burning forest.
Smokey Bear is an American campaign and advertising icon created by the U.S. Forest Service with artist Albert Staehle possibly in collaboration with writer and art critic Harold Rosenberg. In the Wildfire Prevention Campaign, which is the longest-running public service announcement campaign in United States history, the Ad Council, the United States Forest Service (USFS), and the National Association of State Foresters (NASF), in partnership with creative agency FCB, employ Smokey Bear to educate the public about the dangers of unplanned human-caused wildfires.
