The American Black Bear Project

The American Black Bear Project aims to study and conserve black bear populations in North America. Researchers monitor bear behavior, habitats, and health to understand their needs and challenges, especially as human development encroaches on their territories. This project helps gather important data on bear populations, which can inform wildlife management practices and ensure the bears' survival. By understanding the interactions between bears and their environment, the project seeks to promote coexistence and address issues like habitat loss and human-wildlife conflicts. Ultimately, it contributes to the preservation of black bears as a vital part of the ecosystem.
