The Future of Urban Brown Bear Management in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan : a Review
Article Recently, brown bears have moved deeper inside urban areas in Sapporo, the fifth-largest city with a population of 1.9 million in Japan. Here, I review urban large carnivore management and its human dimension and discuss how to create a model of harmonious coexistence that includes both mana...
