Bears on Vancouver Island aren’t hibernating; they’re in light dormancy due to human food sources, causing conflicts.
Bears on southern Vancouver Island are not truly hibernating but entering torpor, a lighter dormancy allowing activity when food is available.
Mollie Cameron of the Wild Wise Society says human-provided food sources like garbage, bird feeders, and compost are the main reason bears remain active in winter, disrupting natural cycles.
She urges residents to secure waste, remove attractants, and shelter livestock, stressing that preventing bear encounters is a human responsibility.
Stronger local bylaws and community cooperation are needed to reduce conflicts and protect both bears and people.
