Brown bears in the spotlight of the Ministry of Environment

Reports of damage caused to residents of communities by brown bears are in the focus of the Ministry of the Environment.
During this time, work was carried out to find possible solutions. The National Academy of Sciences conducted research on the prevalence and number of bears and the assessment of the threat posed by bears.
In the near future, the Ministry of Environment will hold an extended discussion of the issue with the participation of interested parties to discuss the behavior of individual bears and ways to mitigate the danger threatening residents and their farms.
As a result of human pressure on nature, the conflict between man and wildlife has recently escalated, but any decision made should be based primarily on environmental interests.
