This paper traces the 30-year history of the International Association for Bear Research and Management (IBA) from an informal organization of bear biologists, to the Bear Biology Association (BBA), to the IBA. Dates, locations, and highlights of the organizations 10 conferences are presented along with lists of officers and newsletter editors. Information from these conferences, along with newsletter articles, document the events and issues that shaped and changed the IBA and have made it the premier professional bear organization in the world.

We are a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land, sea and waters, of the area that we live, work and research across the earth. We recognise their continued custodianship and connection to the land, waters and community. We respect and honor Elders past, present and emerging. Our hope is that we move forward with open minds listening and learning from their wisdom and knowledge.
