Description
In parts of the Northwest Boreal Region the grizzly bear is experiencing an increasing number of conflicts with humans, which have led to an increase in the number of public complaints and the number of grizzlies translocated or destroyed. This project was initiated to identify the factors that contribute to human-grizzly conflicts and to offer possible solutions. The most common causes of conflict were found to be field grain, livestock predation, domestic carcasses, and garbage. Several practices are recommended, including a carcass pick-up service, a bear education program, and several aversive conditioning techniques. These practices, initiated in a timely fashion, consistently maintained, and applied with an understanding of bear behaviour, should reduce conflict.
