Description

Presentation Title: Living with Polar Bears
Summary: WWF works with communities around the Arctic to reduce human-polar bear conflict. Together with communities, we support community-customized implementation of deterrence and conflict avoidance/prevention tools that are becoming standard for polar bears. We help initiate and institutionalize polar bear conflict avoidance, deterrence, and monitoring efforts in coastal communities within polar bear range. Ultimately, we hope to see conflict avoidance/deterrence programs operating in each Arctic community within polar bear range.
