Train People not Bears and We Humans Can Live in Harmony with Bears!

Published by admin On 09/12/2015 Leave a response

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK — It wasn’t that long ago that a trip to see Yosemite’s spectacular granite cliffs and splendid waterfalls was a descent into bear mayhem.

In 1997, black bears broke into more than 600 cars in the park, searching for human food as they tore open the doors of Toyotas and Hondas, smashing minivan windows with their paws. The ursine marauders wandered into tents, overturned garbage cans and, on rare occasions, injured tourists.

They are also training the bears, using GPS collars and other techniques to provide negative reinforcement. (Patrick Tehan/Bay Area News Group) ( Patrick Tehan )

But today, in one of Yosemite’s most remarkable wildlife success stories, the bears are behaving better. Reports of bears damaging property or injuring people in the park have fallen 92 percent — from 1,584 in 1998 to 120 last year. And the number of bears that park officials have had to kill because they pose safety problems has fallen from about 10 a year in the 1990s to one or two a year now.

Biologists say the long, slow turnaround came from an unlikely strategy — training the bears but, more importantly, training people.
