Russia Probes Bear Attacks, as Official Says Town Under ‘Siege’
Prosecutors said local officials failed to control bear numbers as the brown bear population rose to nearly 308,000, according to the natural resources ministry.
- Prosecutors opened a criminal negligence probe Wednesday into six bear attack deaths in Russia's Krasnoyarsk region over one month, accusing local officials of failing to control bear numbers.
- Russia's brown bear population has more than doubled since 1990, from around 130,000 to almost 308,000 individuals, yet the Investigative Committee stated local officials 'failed to take measures to regulate the predator population or prevent them from appearing in areas inhabited by people.'
- Two pensioners were mauled near Podtyosovo earlier this month, followed by a 40-year-old factory worker killed on September 6 and three others in subsequent weeks, with a 39-year-old logger becoming the latest victim early Wednesday.
- Dmitry Buchenik, deputy head of Khakassia region, reported Wednesday that the forest town of Abaza, home to around 10,000 people, was 'effectively under siege by bears' on all sides, with three bears killed during the encroachment.
- While national statistics show bear attacks remain constant at around 20 to 30 annually according to Russia's natural resources ministry, local media and officials have expressed alarm about rising numbers, highlighting tensions in Siberia's remote regions.
