There's an old campfire song where a bear goes over the mountain to see what he could see. Well, lately, there are a lot of media reports about a lot of bears going over a lot of mountains, and what they're seeing is tract houses, hot tubs and minivans. Today on Earthly, I talk with Clemson associate professor Shari Rodriguez about why these bears are moving into the suburbs. Here's a hint: It's not to join the homeowners association.
Rodriguez researches the human dimensions of wildlife conservation and management, and that includes human wildlife interactions and conflicts. She's also going to help us think through the human attitudes towards our encounters with animals that can kill us. And we're going to spend some time trying to understand the trend of humans risking life and limb to get close to dangerous animals in national parks. What seems like pure lunacy might be something more.
