This project works to improve public safety and conserve polar bears by reducing and mitigating negative interactions between bears and people. Community-based conservation has a demonstrated history of success in Alaska, and the Service continues to work closely with communities and partners to reduce access to anthropogenic attractants and facilitate polar bear patrols. Currently, we are working to adapt and test tools.
