In the summer of 2026, a young black bear found in a Denver tree became a quiet symbol of a larger rupture between the natural world and the human one. Drought has stripped Colorado's wilderness of the food bears depend on, sending them into neighborhoods in numbers nearly double those of the previous year. Wildlife officers are doing what they can — tranquilizing, relocating, advising — but the deeper force driving these encounters, a landscape made lean by heat and dryness, remains unchanged. It is an old story wearing new urgency: when nature is diminished, it does not disappear, it migrate

Households face increased property damage risks, higher insurance premiums, and behavioral costs (securing trash, removing feeders, locking vehicles). Reduced outdoor recreation safety may impact consumer spending on outdoor activities.
Likely increased government spending on wildlife management and relocation programs; potential insurance policy adjustments; possible zoning/land-use regulations for urban-wildlife interface areas; drought mitigation policies may be prioritized.
