摘要: The science and management of grizzly bears (Ursus arctos horribilis) in the Rocky Mountains North America have spawned considerable conflict controversy. Much this can be attributed to divergent public values, but narrow perceptions incomplete fragmented problem definitions those involved exacerbated an inherently difficult situation. We present a conceptual model that extends traditional description bear conservation system include facets human domain such as behavior managers, elected officials, public. focuses on human-caused mortality, key determinant population growth region interactions feedback loops among humans major potential influence mortality. also briefly evaluate existing information technical methods relevant understanding complex human-biophysical system. observe not only extant knowledge is insufficient for prediction (and some cases description), positivistic alone adequate dealing with problems conservation. recommend changes could improve learning responsiveness individuals organizations, clarify uncertainty, thereby increase effectiveness management. Although adaptive promising approach, we point out key—as yet unfulfilled—contingencies implementation method one relies upon social processes structures promote open flexibility all policy process. La ciencia y manejo de los osos pardos en las montanas rocallosas Norte han producido considerables conflictos controversias. Mucho esto puede ser atribuido divergentes valores publicos, asi como reducidas percepciones e incompletas fragmentadas definiciones involucrados, lo cual ha exacerbado la ya dificil situacion. Presentamos un modelo que expande descripcion tradicional del sistema conservacion para incluir facetas dominio humano son conducta manejadores, oficiales elegidos publico. El se enfoca mortalidad causada por humanos, clave determinante crecimiento poblaciones esta interacciones retroalimentacion entre humanos tienen mayor potencial influir osos. Brevemente evaluamos informacion existente metodos tecnicos relevantes entender este complejo humano-biofisico observamos no solo el conocimiento actual es insuficiente predecir (y algunos casos describir), sino tambien positivista si sola adecuada enfrentar problemas oso pardo. Recomendamos cambios pueden mejorar aprendizaje responsabilidades individuos organizaciones involucradas, clarificar algunas incertidumbres existentes tanto incrementar efectividad Mientras adaptativo una aproximacion promete, indicamos puntos clave, tales contingencias implementacion metodo este, abordadas su totalidad, basa procesos sociales estructuras promueven abierto otorgan flexibilidad todas fases politicos.
