As majestic as they are powerful, and as timeless as they are
current, bears continue to captivate. Speaking of Bears is not your
average collection of stories. Rather, it is the history, compiled
from interviews with more than 100 individuals, of how Yosemite,
Sequoia, and Kings Canyon National Parks, all in California's
Sierra Nevada, created a human-bear problem so bad that there were
eventually over 2,000 incidents in a single year. It then describes
the pivotal moments during which park employees used trial and
error, conducted research, invented devices, collaborated with
other parks, and found funding to get the crisis back under
control. Speaking of Bears is for bear lovers, national park buffs,
historians, wildlife managers, biologists, and anyone who wants to
know the who, what, where, when, and why of what once was a serious
human-bear problem, and the path these parks took to correct it.
Although these Sierran parks had some of the worst black bear
problems in the country, hosted much of the research, and invented
the bulk of the technological solutions, they were not the only
ones. For that reason, intertwining stories from several other
parks including Yellowstone, the Great Smoky Mountains, and
Banff-Canada are included. For anyone seeking solutions to
human-wildlife conflicts throughout the world, the lessons-learned
are invaluable and widely applicable.
