Threats Facing Black Bears | Georgia Outdoors
Georgia's black bear population has been fragmented over time due to human development and habitat loss. Research biologists with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources are working to understand the movements of the black bears in order to better protect them. Topics discussed in this video include habitat loss due to highway development, black bear fragmentation, and human encounters with bears.
