Human wildlife conflict

Human wildlife conflict is a serious issue in British Columbia.

Each year, too many bears and other wildlife are killed because of human behaviour.

Simple measures can be taken to prevent human wildlife conflicts.

When supported by a community, these activities can prevent dangerous wildlife from entering communities and becoming a public safety concern:

• How to report human-wildlife conflict to the B.C. Conservation Officer Service
• Learn about different species in B.C. and staying safe around wildlife

Predator conflicts and statistics

Conservation Officer Service's predator statistics are updated monthly.

They summarize 'Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP)' calls and the actions taken by Conservation Officers.

These statistics capture information for black bear, grizzly bear and cougar reports and responses from April 2011:

• Black bear 
• Grizzly bear
• Cougar
