|  Black bears are found in 12
of Canada's provinces and territories, while grizzly
bears are located in western provinces and northern
territories. Though these areas are natural bear habitat,
increasing human development and access pose a serious
threat. We must respect the fact that the wilderness
is home to bears, and as visitors we must do our part
to help conserve bears and their environment.
- Learn everything you can about bears before
venturing into their habitat.
- Check for reported bear activity where you’re
headed. Park wardens, wildlife officers, and even signs
posted at the trail head can be of help.
- Be alert and pay attention for bears and signs
of bear activity.
- Alert potential bears to your presence by singing
or talking calmly and loudly.
