312 bears were counted in the hunting grounds adjacent to the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky–Yelizovo –Vilyuchinsk urban agglomeration, Kamchatka.Today reports, citing data from the regional Ministry of Forestry and Hunting.
The aerial survey of animals was held on April 30. There is a decrease in the number of brown bears in the vicinity of the main settlements. In order to increase the effectiveness of measures to prevent conflict situations, the “bear man” experts conducted an appropriate survey of the population.
The draft limit for the extraction of hunting resources in the Kamchatka Territory for the period from August 1, 2025 to August 1, 2026 was also considered.
