Agent-based models can be used to examine the effect of human wildlife education. We explore the spatial dynamics of bear movement within a theoretical landscape. As more urban cells are educated, there is a significant drop in conflict bears. Both spatial placement of educated humans and techniques taught are significant. With a 1% increase of educated cell numbers, we see a 5% decrease in conflict bears.
