Bear incidents reported in Colorado have jumped 97% so far this year.

A man suffered non-life-threatening injuries after a grizzly bear attacked him while hiking alone near Pemberton, B.C., marking the second such incident in the region within a week. The British Columbia Conservation Officer Service (BCCOS) confirmed the attack was defensive, stemming from a close-range surprise encounter. The man self-rescued and sought medical attention. A 72-year-old woman also suffered a broken neck and facial injuries after a grizzly bear attack in the South Chilcotin area. Officials emphasized that both incidents involved hikers alone, and no ongoing threat to other backcountry users was identified. Experts like bear biologist Wayne McCrory highlighted the need for trail and campsite assessments to reduce human-wildlife conflict, noting that grizzlies feed intensively in riparian areas before hibernation. Recommendations include avoiding high-risk trails, using bear spray, and traveling in groups. The Ministry of Environment confirmed the bears involved were female with cubs, and no capture devices were used. Researchers also suggested seasonal closures of areas critical for cub rearing to balance conservation and human safety.
