Carnivores and Communities Program uses a range of techniques to reduce the number of conflicts between humans and wildlife bears
He’s not a bear hater either. He’s a lover of wildlife but he’d never call himself a conservationist. Yet, among conservationists and cattle ranchers in southern Alberta, Mr. Bectell is best known for his role in decreasing conflicts with grizzly bears.
As the number of grizzly bears increases, they are being found farther east from the mountains, encroaching onto ranchland, causing potential conflict with humans and livestock. With financial support from thegovernment, Carnivores and Communities uses a variety of mitigation techniques to reduce the number of conflicts while helping to create a sustainable future for wildlife and people to live in harmony.
the human wildlife co-existence team lead for Alberta Environment and Parks in the Kananaskis region, his mandate is to “conserve lands and the species that live there.” “But they don’t realize that huge reward and protein, which is the currency of bears, can put them on the wrong side of management and they could get relocated or captured or even killed depending on what they’re doing,” he said.
“There was some frustration in how it went – the compensation investigation – and just the bureaucracy of the program frustrated me a little bit,” he said. “That’s how the Carnivores and Communities Program congealed into what it is today,” Mr. Bectell said.
