Human-Grizzly Bear Conflict

Since 1975 Grizzly Bears have been on the Endangered Species List. Besides the Endangered Species List, another solution was to relocate the bears to Yellowstone National Park. Yet, another solution that is taking place, is to increase funding to save the habitats of the bears.If the Grizzly Bear went extinct, the biomes and ecosystems would dwindle away and also be lost. If the Grizzly Bear went extinct the spreading of seeds for the plants it feeds on will cease, causing very little plants to grow. This would then affect the wildlife populations because there would be little to no vegetation for the animals to thrive on. Without the Bear the herd populations would increase and die off because of the scarce food around. The cause of the Bear’s death is the over hunting of the animal. Humanity can fix this by putting in additional laws that restrict and prohibit the hunting of these Bears, and not rely heavily on the Endangered Species List law. The solution that I offer is an alternative use of funding. Instead of putting money to technology and its opportunities, we turn that money and use it to help the preservation of these Bears. We could also, use the money to create more land for the animals to live on and thrive on. Humanity can counteract these events by supporting the laws in place and giving their full attention to this pressing matter. For what humanity takes away we must give back in order to continue a way of life: life where anything can

This includes, the need for lumber in Canada and the need to transport oil. Transporting lumber and oil is resulting in polluted waters, and bears feeding on polluted fish. Deforestation is affecting Kermode Bears because of habitat loss and the need to transport the cut trees. In the future Kermode Bears could nearly be extinct because of the proposed Enbridge\Gateway pipeline that would transport oil from Alberta's oil sands through The Great Bear Rainforest, to Kitimat British Columbia. After the pipeline, the oil would be sent to market on large oil tankers, with a chance that the oil could be spilt.

North Sydney Bears secured a crucial 44-32 victory against the Illawarra Cutters, which has pushed them further towards the top eight.

On Saturday night, August 29th, a bear reportedly attacked two men. The incident occurred around 8pm, northwest of Cochrane in an area known as Ghost public land use zone. One of the victims of the bear attack told EMS paramedics that he was riding an all-terrain vehicle, and the other man was on a dirt bike, when they encountered a bear and cubs. “The bears attacked them knocking them from their vehicles. They had to deploy bear spray, and in a short time, the bear and the cubs departed the vicinity.” Says Adam Loria with EMS. “We heard something,” says Cam Steffen. “We weren’t sure if it was the cows and then it got louder. We heard it again and it was someone calling for help.” In the next couple minutes, EMS responded to an along Highway

The Grizzly bears population has grown from about 200 in 1975 to approximately 600-1200 in the 18 million acers of the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem. (Yellowstone)

Timothy Treadwell, made famous after the biographical documentary Grizzly Man was released, spent thirteen summers in Katmai National Park in Homer, Alaska living amongst the region’s wild brown bears before he was ultimately killed and consumed by them. No one quite understood why he decided to spend so much time with the dangerous carnivores, but onecan only speculate on the decisions that led to his tragic end. He was believed to have suffered from alcoholism and drug addiction. The self-proclaimed “bear whisperer” not only yearned not only for a connection with the bears, but many believed also for their acceptance. He devoted his life trying to convince society that the bears needed his help, but there is controversy as to if he did more bad than good in his so-called efforts to aid in their protection.

Grizzly Bears - they are large bears that inhabit North America. Many people hunt them.

Bear Fighting [1] In a typical bear fighting event there are twenty five fights. In

I boarded the Amtrak the early morning of November 5th, 2016 from Davis, California to the Peytonia Slough Ecological Reserve (Peytonia Reserve) in Suisun, California. The trip to this brackish and saltwater reserve was to help me analyze the relationship between humans and wildlife in urban settings. Urban environments depend on the rehabilitation and protection of small natural areas like the Peytonia Reserve. At the Peytonia Reserve, both humans and native/non-native species live in cohabitation, which paints an accurate representation of reconciliation ecology. Humans use these natural areas, the Peytonia Reserve in this case, for recreational activities like hunting and fishing. This, in turn, benefits the wildlife that lives in the area because hunters and fishers want the environment to be well maintained in order to support their activities. I came up with the conclusion that even though humans have more to benefit from wildlife, wildlife also depends on humans to help protect and conserve their habitats.

The book “The Grizzly Maze” by author Nick Jans, tells the fatal story of a man known as Timothy Treadwell and his dark obsession with bears and the wilderness. Timothy is a self proclaimed “Bear Expert” who devoted his life to protecting Grizzly bears from the dangers of poaching. He began to research bears on his own and began to spread his “knowledge” to thousands of people through books,media, and even as a classroom speaker. He wanted to protect the grizzlies so much that he even went as far as to camp in the wilderness of Katmai National Park and protect them physically from the threats of poachers/hunters, a threat that was never a reality. He garnered large media attention for the way he handled his “research”, since it was so

Many people tend to be afraid of wolves because of how big they are and their strength. However, we don’t see how important they are until there are drastic changes. For almost 70 years Yellowstone did not have a night where a wolves howl could be heard. In that time the deer population grew fast; because of the increase in their

In North America, the grizzly bear is a keystone species - not as a predator but as ecosystem engineers. They transfer nutrients from the oceanic ecosystem to the forest ecosystem. The first stage of the transfer

The polar bear lives up in the Arctic region where global warming and climate change are melting the ice caps that the bears thrive on. They use the ice as a platform from hunting and rest. The random pocket holes in the ice, where the seals pop up at, is where the polar bear catches its prey. With this reduction of ice, “the abundance of seals, and increases the amount of energy and time needed for hunting, leaving less energy for reproduction” (Endangered Species and Habitats).

Bear is a true carnivore, but if not prevented the black bear could be a huge problem to humans.

Irrespective of what finally brings humanity to its knees towns and cities will in time become a magnet for wildlife –wildlife looking for new hunting and breeding grounds. Food will be as scarce for them as it is for you and when you re-appear in their landscape they’ll be looking at you as the new chief’s special.
