Preliminary Management Implications for Black Bears, Ursus americanus, in the Catskill Region of New York State as the Result of an Ecological Study

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.
