In Alaska, gray wolves (Canis lupis), brown bears (Ursus arctos), and black bears (U. americanus) are managed in most of the state in ways intended to significantly reduce their abundance in the expectation of increasing hunter harvests of ungulates. To our knowledge, Alaska is unique in the world because this management priority is both widespread and mandated by state law. Large carnivore management in Alaska is a reversion to outdated management concepts and occurs without effective monitoring programs designed to scientifically evaluate impacts on predator populations. Large carnivore management in Alaska should be based on rigorous science including the status and trends of carnivore populations.
在阿拉斯加，灰狼（Canis lupus）、棕熊（Ursus arctos）和黑熊（U. americanus）在该州大部分地区的管理方式旨在通过显著减少其数量，以期增加对有蹄类动物的狩猎收获。据我们所知，阿拉斯加在世界上是独一无二的，因为这种管理重点不仅广泛存在，而且受到州法律的强制要求。阿拉斯加的大型食肉动物管理是对过时管理理念的回归，而且在没有旨在科学评估对捕食者种群影响的有效监测计划的情况下进行。阿拉斯加的大型食肉动物管理应该基于严格的科学，包括食肉动物种群的现状和趋势。
