Abstract
Brown bears (Ursus arctos) are the largest carnivores on Tibetan plateau. Human-brown bear conflicts such as house damaging and livestock killing have become serious problems in the past decade. The previous studies on human-brown bear conflicts in Sanjiangyuan Nature Reserve suggest that pika eradication policy of Chinese government cause starvation to bears, which is the main cause of the increasing conflicts. But there are few studies of bears in this high elevation area, understanding ecological process of them will be the first step in reducing the conflicts and making a conservation plan.
