bear-human interactions

Bear-human interactions involve encounters where bears and people come into contact, which can be natural or accidental. These interactions often occur when bears are attracted to food sources like garbage, farms, or campsites, or when humans inadvertently surprise bears in their habitat. While bears generally avoid humans, feeding or approaching them can lead to aggressive behavior. To prevent conflicts, it’s essential to store food securely, maintain safe distances, and respect bear habitats. Responsible behavior helps minimize risks for both bears and people, promoting coexistence and preserving the health of bear populations.
