If we can’ t learn how to live safely with coyotes, we’ re in for a world of trouble when we get bears back in Rhode Island in large numbers.”
The DEM estimates that the number of potential resident black bears in the state is no more than ten, with some transients passing through. Other New England states have seen their populations rebound along with the forests that were cleared for agriculture in the 1850s, in tandem with the elimination of bounties and hunting laws restricting their harvest.

Ben Kilham, of the Kilham Bear Center in Lyme, New Hampshire, says that humans and bears can coexist peacefully— if humans adjust. He has been studying bear behavior and rehabilitating injured, abandoned and orphaned cubs since 1993.
“ All the issues with bears come from humans and food attractants, like unsecured trash and bird feeders. I’ ve spent my life trying to educate people not to be afraid of bears,” he says.“ But there is a level of fear, and it’ s unfounded because bears have no interest in people, only in food we leave around.”
