What You can do:
1. Drive slow, bears spontaneously cross streets and highway without warning
2. Lock up trash so bears forage their native food that is in abundance in the basin
3. Give em space: If you see a bear give them the right-of-way.. back away (do not move in for a photo).

Bears Live Here...(for centuries)
10,000 years ago humans moved in and co-existed with the Bears
not hunting them or building homes where they lived.
Bears are indicator species of a healthy forest
Healthy forests protect the lake

Tahoe Bears being killed cropssing the highway increases
Up to 100 bears a year are killed crossing the highway. There are less than 5 Bear Crossing signs over the 72 miles that circle the lake. 63 creeks bring water from the mountains to the lake. Creeks are wildlife corridors. When bears and other wildlife cannot cross the highway (which is like a wall to wildlife) safely (via a culvert) they cross it and without adequate notice to drivers - bears get hurt or killed.
Solar powered technology with flashing signals, alert drivers when any wildlife, or domestic life is about the cross a highway. Eurekalert is one of many new companies perfecting wildlife alert highway signs that reduce wildlife and human trauma and fatalities.
