Man and the grizzly bear (present, past, but future?)
Herrero SS. 1970. Man and the grizzly bear (present, past, but future?). BioScience. 20(21):1148-1153
Discussion of the coexistence of humans and grizzly bears. "My presentation will support the contention that grizzly bears and human beings can coexist, in certain areas, and that this coexistence is especially valuable in Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks." Herrero's presentation will support the contention that grizzly bears and human beings can coexist, in certain areas, and that this coexistence is especially valuable in Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks, where others have urged the elimination of grizzly. his coexistence is, however, dependent upon the behavior of people in these parks: their "user" behavior, their garbage disposal, their attitudes, their values, and their distribution and density. The author's support for the contention of coexistence comes from examination of factual data related to grizzly bear-human being interactions that have occurred in the past, and from consideration of man's values, attitudes, and perceptions, especially as they relate to grizzly bears.
