During the 25 years from 1967 to 1992, public interest and environmental laws stimulated conservation efforts and provided a rationale for expanded scientific efforts relating to bears. As the years progressed, field technology advanced rapidly and knowledge emerged as a powerful conservation tool. A survey of colleagues with a professional interest in bears resulted in a reading list of 11 technical publications that were considered important contributions to the literature for the period. Historical trends are used to envision future conservation based on the concept that bears and humans are biological competitors.
