Human-Wildlife Conflict

Human wildlife conflict is a serious issue in British Columbia, and each year too many bears and other wildlife are killed because of human decisions and behaviour.

However, there are a variety of simple things that each of us can do that make a big difference in preventing human wildlife conflicts.  When endorsed and supported by an entire community, these activities have the power to prevent dangerous wildlife from entering our communities, and becoming a public safety concern.
