Bears in North America: Habitats, hunting, and politics
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We review the management status of the 3 species of bears in North America: the black bear, the grizzly bear, and the polar bear. The history of hunting has played a large role in the current management for bears, but the future viability of bear populations will depend on attention to protecting adequate habitats.
