Charlie's Goals for 2003

· Demonstrate and prove that Biscuit's relationship with us will not change with the arrival of her first cubs.

· Document the relationship that develops with Biscuit's new cubs.

· Continue to monitor and supervise the poaching control program.

· Assist the Kronotsky State Biosphere Preserve in strategizing to create Kurilskoy Lake as a world class bear/salmon eco-tourist centre.

· Work on an agreement that our study area of Kambalnoye Lake will become isolated from people once we are finished with our study, to give our study animals protection from people who might not understand how to respond to them.
