Bears and mining camps go hand in hand in fact they are attracted by the smell of food and garbage and this should make it very easy for ARU to adopt them as an organized contribution to that cause if they choose to do so. Mining does NOT endanger bear habitat..you should know this....they come and go as they please.

Yeah, all 2000 of them. That's how many are left.

Mining and logging opens roads. Roads are used by hunters.
