The Bear Research and Management Program

The Bear Research and Management Program studies bear populations to ensure their health and safety, while balancing human interests. It involves tracking bear movements, studying their behavior, and assessing their habitats. This information helps develop effective strategies to reduce conflicts between bears and people, such as securing attractants and managing habitats. The program also provides education to communities about coexisting safely with bears, and informs management decisions to maintain healthy bear populations and minimize risks. Overall, it aims to promote harmonious coexistence between bears and humans through scientific research and public awareness.
