The book explores the complex relationship between humans and the threatened Asiatic black bear and brown bear in Japan, highlighting the cultural differences in attitudes toward bear management. A review of 64 articles reveals that Japanese respondents are more inclined to support bear removal compared to their North American counterparts. The findings emphasize the need for effective education programs to mitigate human-bear conflicts and address the negative perceptions caused by agricultural damage. It serves as a valuable resource for wildlife management professionals and researchers.
