I Am Bear Safe

Training people not to train bears...to get into trouble!

“I Am Bear Safe”TM is a multi-partner Wildlife Coexistence Strategy designed to equip National Park gateway communities to “train people not to train bears” to get into trouble.

 

Bears are a top attraction at many of our National Parks and well-managed by the Parks for population viability and visitor enjoyment. The communities on the edge of National Parks are the frontline for battling ignorance and irresponsibility when it comes to bear safety. However, these Park gateway communities are experiencing increasing pressure from more visitors along with rapid development, new residents being naïve about bear safety, and a growing population of nearby recreationists.

 

Their stewardship efforts and yours will enable bears to survive by performing their natural behaviors without human risks and distractions.
