Humans and Conflicts With Bears: Oh My! – AMNH SciCafe

Anyone who has ever surprised a black bear in their own backyard is already keenly aware of the overlap between human communities and bear habitats. Rae Wynn-Grant, a conservation biologist at the Museum, offered insights into black bear behavior and what humans can do to improve relations with this wide-ranging and adaptable species at a recent SciCafe program, which took place at the Museum on October 4, 2017.

The SciCafe series is proudly sponsored by Judy and Josh Weston.

I really like bears. I feel that we treat them unjustly, taking their homes to use the land for ourselves. Also, the hunting. That is something we must stop.
