Buy (truly) local honey and support farmers and ranchers that practice sustainable and regenerative agriculture. Whether it's through farmers markets or CSA programs, you can make a difference for the people saving bees.
Create a bee-friendly habitat at your home or in your community. You can start with planting plants that are rich in pollen and nectar — and later move on to planting "bee trees" or setting up a "bee bath."
Make a donation to organizations that are supporting bees in your community or around the world. A few great nonprofits to check out are BeeGirl.org and TheBeeConservancy.org.

Reach out about volunteering. It's truly hard to beat investing your time at a local animal shelter. Visit adoptapet.com/animal-shelters to easily find contact information for a shelter near you.
Adopt a pet from a shelter in your community! It truly makes a difference in two lives (yours and theirs). Pro-tip: theshelterpetproject.org is one of the easiest ways to get to know dogs, cats, and shelters in your area.

Researchers Use AI To Track Bears
The team monitors bears' social behavior and, notably, identifies them without using radio collars, which require tranquilizers, the traditional but more invasive approach. With trap cameras and watchtowers, researchers can monitor bears that migrate, but some can't be easily recognized with the human eye. Previously, researchers had to manually analyze trap camera images. The method was not always accurate, and it was time-consuming. "Traditionally, you'd have a researcher at a computer [who sits] there, has to go through every single photo or every single video in detail to look if there is anything to

Miller and Nguyen volunteered their spare time over several years to aid the conservationists in building the project, the New York Times reported. In November 2020, the group published the results of BearID in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Ecology and Evolution. "We're seeing grizzly bears move into areas where potentially they haven't lived or inhabited before,” Clapham, co-director of BearID project, told TechRepublic. “This can create interesting dynamics between people and wildlife, when large predators are moving into areas where potentially people aren't used to living around them.” As the animals migrate to populated areas because of lack of access to food, other animals, including humans, can compete for resources and potentially cause encounters that pose risks for both bears and humans.
