Due to increased bear activity and visitor safety concerns, park staff closed five backcountry campsites in Rocky Mountain National Park on July 13. The sites are located in the Wild Basin area in the southern portion of the park. These five campsites; Pine Ridge, Tahosa, Aspen Knoll, Siskin, and North St. Vrain will be closed through July 19 and reevaluated.

由于熊活动增加和对游客安全问题的担忧，公园工作人员于7月13日关闭了落基山国家公园内的五处野外营地。这些营地位于公园南部的荒野盆地地区。这五处营地——松树岭，塔霍萨，白杨丘，西斯金和北圣弗兰将关闭至7月19日，之后将重新评估情况。

There have been multiple sightings of two bears since mid June in the Wild Basin area. At least one bear has received numerous food rewards both at a backcountry campsite and at residences and businesses outside of the park. Three of the five campsites mentioned have food storage canisters and the other two provide cables to hang food. Once bears associate humans with food it is extremely difficult to change their behavior and tragically, often times leads to a bear having to be killed because of visitor safety concerns. Visitors to the park and area neighbors are reminded of the following:

自六月中旬以来，在荒野盆地地区已多次观察到两只熊的踪迹。至少有一只熊在野外营地和公园外的住宅和商业场所多次获得了人类食物作为“奖赏”。上述的五个营地中有三处配备了食物储存罐，另外两处则提供悬挂食物的电缆。一旦熊将人类与食物联系在一起，要改变他们的行为就变得极其困难，不幸的是，出于对游客安全问题的担忧，这往往会导致熊不得不被杀死。特此提醒公园游客和周边地区居民注意以下事项：

Always follow proper food storage regulations at your campsite or residence. Improper food storage within the park will lead to citations.

在您的营地或住所，务必始终遵循正确的食物储存规定。公园内未妥善储存的食物将导致处罚通知。

It is crucial that if you have food while you are on the trail that you practice proper food storage such as keeping all trash with you, not leaving behind any crumbs or other residue from your food.

在步道上携带食物时，正确储存食物至关重要。请随身携带所有垃圾，切勿留下任何食物碎屑或残渣。

If you store food and coolers in your vehicle, use airtight containers placed in the trunk or out of sight. Close vehicle windows completely.

如果您将食物和冷藏箱存放在车内，请使用密封容器并放置在后备箱或视线之外。务必完全关闭车窗。

If you are approached by a black bear, keep children beside you. Do not run but move away from the bear. If a bear approaches you, stand up tall, and make loud noises; shout, clap hands, or clang pots and pans. If attacked, fight back.

如果你遇到黑熊接近，让孩子待在您身边。切勿奔跑，但应缓慢远离熊。如果熊朝你走来，站直身体，并制造巨大声响：大声喊叫，拍手，或敲打锅碗瓢盆。如果遭到攻击，请奋力反击。
