Bearproofing
Bearproofing refers to the practice of implementing measures to prevent bears from accessing human food, garbage, and other attractants. This is done to reduce the likelihood of conflicts between humans and bears, which can be dangerous for both parties and often results in the relocation or euthanasia of the bear.
Key bearproofing strategies include secure storage of food and garbage. This often involves using bear-resistant containers
In residential areas, bearproofing extends to securing bird feeders, pet food left outdoors, and even compost
