……objective science for conservation…….

The Pacific WildLife Foundation is a non-profit coastal and marine research and education society  that inspires an appreciation for objective scientific research and conservation of the ocean. We conduct original research, develop novel education programs, and inspire an appreciation for conservation of the ocean. 

Black Bear Conservation

Black Bears are currently doing well although they once were once declining in most parts of their original range. These population increases can be due to conservation efforts, local wildlife management and the creation of protected areas. The encroachment of humans into the Black Bears territory has in many areas led to pest or garbage scavenging behaviour.
