Grizzly bears are an iconic symbol of wilderness and nature. For those who work and live in bear country, encounters with bears are likely. When you encounter a bear, or even think about it, you bring forward preconceived notions of what will happen next. Are your assumptions correct? As more and more people encroach on bear habitat, the risk of human-bear conflict increases. Understanding bear behaviour can help to reduce conflict risk and shape our relationship with these magnificent carnivores. Sarah Elmeligi, PhD has been researching how people and bears have shared the landscape for over 15 years.
In this webinar, bear biologist and conservationist Sarah Elmeligi shared her experiences researching Ursus throughout Western Canada. She discussed some of the conclusions and insights from her work with grizzly bears and how this has shaped her environmental career journey.
