The four large carnivores–grizzlies and black bears, mountain lions and wolves–are “top,” or apex predators, and keystone species. This means they are essential to healthy natural systems; if we protect them, we protect many wildlife species. Large-bodied mammals are the most challenging, yet some of the most important, to conserve. Large carnivores once thrived across the West, but now exist in small, regional populations. To help them survive, expand their range, and connect with others, we must keep them out of conflicts with people. https://peopleandcarnivores.org/how-we-do-it daily 0.75 2025-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f222a7c92ce383c8ff73e83/8bad8e0b-9655-4934-ab0f-71244faa8a3c/Felicia+and+cubs.jpeg Our Approach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f222a7c92ce383c8ff73e83/1601923280626-U9WKK3IK07GHIWHU4HK0/Dixon+E+fence.jpg Our Approach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f222a7c92ce383c8ff73e83/e50098e5-4a74-4fce-a321-bb8ca384e6c8/IMG_6006.jpeg Our Approach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f222a7c92ce383c8ff73e83/1601572237835-NNX81AG5FN5F1KDYBALQ/PC_Bear%2Bpole%2Braise%2B4.jpg Our Approach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f222a7c92ce383c8ff73e83/e35f35ee-eb15-4eb9-9f40-c85f3879a02c/IMG_5838.jpeg Our Approach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f222a7c92ce383c8ff73e83/4235e94f-c2c6-4511-bfa7-153741dddcda/ZavalaOrchard_BlackBearWestFence-070421.JPG Our Approach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f222a7c92ce383c8ff73e83/f45c2dd3-e166-4e12-939e-a91e870914a2/Felicia+in+willows+%282%29+.jpeg Our Approach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f222a7c92ce383c8ff73e83/ad959438-a6ee-472b-bb3c-fa02c3b4c628/IMG_6720.JPG Our Approach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f222a7c92ce383c8ff73e83/1601922836140-BM9J3LLEGBGBOMBVILTP/carcass+compost+_+Kim+thermometer.jpg Our Approach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f222a7c92ce383c8ff73e83/1605044209057-4Y1DKMO93I5AXLQEXWKS/Cows-in-Fladry+copy+2.jpg Our Approach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f222a7c92ce383c8ff73e83/1604600501362-M6GUDPQWDFA8YCSAGUQ2/IMG_0001.jpg Our Approach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f222a7c92ce383c8ff73e83/e9406f33-c336-4916-b0d7-39b259549ce5/IMG_6940.jpeg Our Approach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f222a7c92ce383c8ff73e83/789f8517-041d-4d48-961b-31f11060c3b0/WNM_48_photos_v2_x2+%281%29.jpg Our Approach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f222a7c92ce383c8ff73e83/c6d3b740-7db1-4650-8a2f-150b32817d0a/IMG_6978copy.jpg Our Approach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f222a7c92ce383c8ff73e83/1d3b4593-ed13-43e8-ab8b-c49133b934d9/wolf+image.jpg Our Approach https://peopleandcarnivores.org/mission daily 0.75 2026-02-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f222a7c92ce383c8ff73e83/7bc3230f-b476-40a1-b629-00132dfafaed/IMG_2141.jpg Mission & Vision https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f222a7c92ce383c8ff73e83/1599425655198-I9OYOSNL2MKAMS1QFD7F/b7950d8ad03b5100e033ba56a3bd9dea.jpg Mission & Vision https://peopleandcarnivores.org/all-videos-archived daily 0.75 2022-10-25 https://peopleandcarnivores.org/footage-all-project-videos daily 0.75 2025-02-13 https://peopleandcarnivores.org/home daily 1.0 2026-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f222a7c92ce383c8ff73e83/985d742d-d0d6-4894-9dda-356dd4383000/pete-nuij-Nl1xSowK5x4-unsplash.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f222a7c92ce383c8ff73e83/ce410dde-072b-4ece-8d8a-75dc4dc948ce/pexels-shelby-waltz-6970826.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f222a7c92ce383c8ff73e83/1599427168635-O1OSEUJDL4B6ROTUO16G/pjjKIvc.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f222a7c92ce383c8ff73e83/442f92a0-207f-459e-bd7a-8bba8da4f206/IMG_9651.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f222a7c92ce383c8ff73e83/e4a6fc90-8323-4484-bfdc-908880f12244/fence.jpg Home -

When a bear touches an electrified wire, the electricity travels through the animal, into the soil, to the ground rod, and back to the energizer, completing the electrical circuit, which delivers the shock. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f222a7c92ce383c8ff73e83/1744841126862-M5BQPE1AILD6XSRYJ2IW/BryceFenceDesign_WithCompositePost.jpg Electric Fence Designs A design for a permanent electric fence using high-tensile wire, alternating hot (+) and ground (-) wires, and a combination of wood posts and composite posts.
