Bear management practices

Bear management practices involve strategies to ensure both human safety and bear conservation. These include securing attractants like food and garbage to prevent bears from seeking human sources, using evidence-based techniques to prevent conflicts, relocating bears when necessary, and sometimes removing bears that pose risks. Education campaigns inform communities about safe practices and bear behavior. Overall, the goal is to minimize human-bear conflicts by managing bear behavior and habitats responsibly, promoting coexistence and protecting bear populations while ensuring public safety.
