红杉与国王峡谷国家公园熊患事件六年增加125%：园方公布食物存放指引
美国国家公园管理局（NPS）红杉与国王峡谷国家公园的记录显示，园内与熊相关的事件数量六年间大幅上升：2020年全年记录158起，2026年截至9月底已达356起，增幅约125%。相关数据于10月19日经报道披露。
财产损失同步攀升：2026年至今，熊患造成的财产损失已达17,358美元，而2020年全年仅为898美元。园方记录显示，今年的事件中，61起与未上锁的垃圾箱有关，19起是熊从营地、野餐区或车辆中抢走食物。自2020年以来，园内有18只熊在与车辆的碰撞中受伤，其中4只死亡。
事件多发地带包括 Giant Forest、Halstead Meadow 与 Cedar Grove。红杉与国王峡谷国家公园位于加州 Sierra Nevada 山区，面积1,353平方英里，年游客量超过150万人次，园内生活着数百只黑熊。目前正值黑熊冬眠前的暴食期，熊只大量进食以储备脂肪，一般在10月至12月间进入冬眠。
按公园在官网 nps.gov/seki 公布的食物存放指引，露营者应将食物存放在营地的金属防熊箱内，背包客需使用便携式防熊罐；一旦有熊取得人类食物，应向园方报告。
Bear Incidents Up 125% in Six Years at Sequoia and Kings Canyon: Park Posts Food-Storage Guidance
Records from Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks show a sharp rise in bear-related incidents over six years: 158 incidents were recorded in all of 2020, compared with 356 through the end of September 2026, an increase of about 125 percent. The figures were reported on October 19.
Property damage has climbed alongside the incident count: bear-related damage in 2026 has reached $17,358 so far, versus $898 in all of 2020. Park records show 61 of this year's incidents involved unsecured trash cans, and 19 involved bears taking food from campsites, picnic areas or vehicles. Since 2020, 18 bears in the parks have been struck by vehicles and four have died.
Hotspots include Giant Forest, Halstead Meadow and Cedar Grove. The two parks, in California's Sierra Nevada, cover 1,353 square miles, draw more than 1.5 million visitors a year and are home to several hundred black bears. Bears are now in their pre-hibernation feeding phase, eating heavily to build fat reserves before denning between October and December.
Under the food-storage guidance posted by the park at nps.gov/seki, campers should store food in the metal bear boxes provided at campgrounds, backpackers must use portable bear canisters, and any bear that obtains human food should be reported to park staff.
