Abstract

Bear attacks are rare but widely publicized incidents. Degradation in form of overgrazing, deforestation, fire, reclamation of forest land for other uses and over extraction of forest resources essential for bear survival is occurring throughout the bear range. For those living nearby forest areas, bear presents a considerable danger worse than the tigers and leopards.
