Cases of bears approaching people have become more frequent
One of the most pressing issues in the Arctic today is recognizing a bear’s entry into a populated area as an emergency. As with any other natural disaster, residents at such a time are unable to leave their homes and cannot work, since predators can be quite aggressive. At the same time, without declaring an emergency, the municipality cannot mobilize all possible resources. So, if in one part of the village residents understand that a polar bear has arrived, there is no way to notify the other part. Without certain permits, the heads of the municipality do not even have the right to turn on the warning system.
Cases of attacks by tigers and bears on livestock and people in the Primorsky Territory have become more frequent
Tiger attacks on livestock have become more frequent in the Primorsky Territory. Specialists from the Amur Tiger Center are confident that the problem is not related to a lack of food, but to the negligence and carelessness of local residents. In their opinion, people themselves create favorable conditions for attacks by predators. But in any case, the center provides compensation to the owners of animals that died from the paws of a tiger.
