A 21-year-old woman who was planting trees was seriously injured by a bear in western Canada in what authorities have called a 'defensive attack.'
released by the British Columbia Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks, there are an estimated 120,000-160,000 black bears in the province -- about one bear for every seven square kilometers. The province's grizzly bear population, estimated at 10,000 -13,000, is classified as vulnerable.
Bear-human conflicts are considered"relatively rare," the ministry said, unless the animals are startled or protecting their cubs or food. However, last October, a"rare predatory attack" by a black bear left three people injured, two seriously, the CBC Since 2019, calls about predatory grizzly bear attacks have doubled, and in some cases tripled released by the province. In the years 2018-2019, there were 11 calls made about predatory grizzly bear attacks, and the following year there were 36 calls about attacks, according to the statistics.
On Friday, officials urged the public to"take precautions in case of wildlife encounters, which includes carrying bear spray, traveling in groups, and ensuring pets are leashed."
