Changes to the black bear environment play a key factor in the increase of their population. Clear cut logging produces an abundance of nuts and berries. Food that is so readily available in large supply greatly contributes to female bears having more cubs.
To say that the cancellation of spring bear hunting has been responsible for population increases in false. Man's impact on the bears natural environment cannot be discounted. More food, more bears.
Perhaps better management of Ontario's Boreal Forest in regards to clear cut logging should be strongly encourage for creatures large and small.
