Drought Often Means More Conflict Between Humans and Bears

Public Domain During years with average or above-average precipitation, both black and grizzly bears in the Mountain West are pretty good at finding food, whether that s insects, berries, or root-like plants. But those natural food sources are vulnerable to drought. It doesn t help that hot and dry conditions of historic levels are currently gripping the region. Darren DeBloois, the game mammals coordinator for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, said when drought causes plant resources to dwindle, or they re low quality when vegetation dries up, they re just not a whole lot in it for a bear to benefit from. And when the quality and quantity of bears food supply go down, they often go looking elsewhere, and that s when human-bear conflicts arise.
