"There's a Bear in My Backyard: Bears and People in Greater Yellowstone"
by Mark Bruscino

Mr. Bruscino's program looks at trends in human-bear conflicts; how human land use affects them; and how bear behavior, physiology, and food habits contribute to the relationship between people and bears. Mr. Bruscino is the human-bear conflict manager at the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, where he also supervises the bear management program. Throughout his 29-year career with Game and Fish, he has worked with mountain lions, wolves, black bears, and grizzly bears in Wyoming as well as polar bear-human conflicts in Canada and brown bear conflicts in Sweden. Mr. Bruscino’s work in grizzly bear-human conflict management has been featured in National Geographic, Smithsonian, Bugle, and Sierra magazines; the Historical Center’s members magazine Points West; on National Public Radio; as well as national television programs such PBS’s Nature and CBS’s 60 Minutes.
