Vermont's Black Bear Population Exceeds State Goals for Fifth Year

Vermont's black bear population has surpassed the state's management objectives for the fifth consecutive year, according to the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department. The current population is estimated between 7,500 and 8,900 bears, exceeding the target range of 3,500 to 5,500. The department uses data from hunter harvests and bear-related incidents to monitor population trends. In response to the growing numbers, biologists have launched a study on black bear reproduction, with results expected by 2031. The Fish and Wildlife Board is considering extending the bear hunting season and allowing hunters in high-density areas to harvest two bears per season.

Mountain Lions Reduce Wildlife-Vehicle Collisions on Washington's Olympic Peninsula

Mountain Lions Reduce Wildlife-Vehicle Collisions on Washington's Olympic Peninsula

A study published in Current Biology reveals that mountain lions, or pumas, contribute to road safety by reducing wildlife-vehicle collisions on Washington State's Olympic Peninsula. Conducted by Conservation Science Partners and several Native American tribes, the research found that the presence of pumas led to a 67% reduction in deer-vehicle collisions. This is attributed to deer altering their behavior to avoid pumas, becoming more active during the day and less likely to venture onto roads at night. The study utilized data from camera traps and GPS-collared pumas to assess the impact of puma presence on deer behavior and collision rates.
