研究表明,访问不列颠哥伦比亚生态旅游地点的灰熊不太可能与下游人类发生冲突。 Study shows grizzly bears visiting BC ecotourism sites are less likely to clash with humans downstream.

不列颠哥伦比亚省的一项新研究发现,访问Atnarko河沿岸生态旅游地点的灰熊不太可能与下游社区的人类发生冲突。 A new study from British Columbia finds that grizzly bears visiting ecotourism sites along the Atnarko River are less likely to have conflicts with humans in downstream communities. 研究人员利用毛发样本追踪了118只熊,在后来访问生态旅游地区的34只熊中,只发现其中1只熊有人类冲突。 Researchers tracked 118 bears using hair samples and found only one of the 34 bears that visited ecotourism areas later had a human conflict. 研究报告强调,诸如欠佳的鲑鱼生长和诸如果树和鲑鱼净化站等人类食物来源等因素助长了熊与人类的冲突。 The study highlights that factors like poor salmon runs and human food sources, such as fruit trees and salmon-cleaning stations, contribute to bear-human conflicts.
