Alaska bears face danger from development and trash
Alaska biologist John Schoen warns that growth in logging, mining, tourism, and road building brings more brown bear conflicts.

Admiralty Island hosts dense bears, while authorities seek tighter waste controls and limited road use to protect habitat.
