Stephen Herrero is a Canadian doctor of animal behaviour and ecology, and was a professor at University of Calgary. He is the author of Bear Attacks: Their Causes and Avoidance, which has been described as "authoritative" and "required reading" on the topic.[1][2]

Herrero was born in San Francisco, and earned his Ph.D. from University of California, Berkeley in animal behaviour and ecology.[1] He moved to Canada after being disillusioned with overdevelopment in the U.S., and the Vietnam War.[1] As a professor at the University of Calgary, Herrero's research on bear attacks has been highly influential; it helped develop new policies in bear safety and shifted focus to bear conservation.[1] He is described as a "leading authority" on bear attacks and safety, produces bear safety videos, and testifies in legal proceedings involving bear attacks.[3][4][5][6][7] He was a consultant on the 1978 National Film Board documentary, Bears and Man.[8]
