Annie Pumphrey, MNRES candidate with the NRES Graduate Program at the University of Northern British Columbia, explains her preliminary findings in her graduate study on Bear Viewing in Kananaskis: Visitor Perceptions & Experience of Park Management & Risk. One of the main goals is to inform a more balanced approach to roadside bear viewing management.

From the video: “On the whole, respondents from the research have voiced support in finding a balance between the management of both humans and bears, rather than just relying on a bear focused management approach.”
