On October 4, 2017, the American Museum of Natural History hosted a SciCafe program featuring conservation biologist Rae Wynn-Grant. The discussion focused on the wide-ranging nature of black bears and the increasing frequency of encounters as human development encroaches on their natural environments.
The session highlights that black bears are highly adaptable, which often leads to surprising interactions in residential areas. By understanding bear behavior, humans can take specific actions to foster safer coexistence with this species.
