Wildlife Encounters: How to Safely Share Nature
June 23 2021
Manitobans coexist with an abundance of wildlife. As we head into hiking and camping season, it’s especially important to be aware of black bears and other large wildlife whose environments we are exploring.
In this CPAWS Manitoba webinar, Janine Wilmot, Human-Wildlife Conflict Biologist with the Province of Manitoba, discusses where and why people find themselves in potentially dangerous encounters with wildlife, actions to take to reduce your own risk of a conflict and how to respond appropriately when interacting with large wildlife.
