Изменение климата приводит к переселению видов и их естественному скрещиванию.
Изменение климата стало причиной появления гибридов белого и бурого медведя на Кунашире в Сахалинской области. Подробности о новых хищниках рассказал кандидат биологических наук, член общественного совета Росприроднадзора Дмитрий Федоров, слова которого приводит РИА Новости.
Биолог Дмитрий Сафонов отметил, что сейчас на одних и тех же территориях оказываются близкие виды, которые ранее занимали совершенно разные экосистемы. При этом скрещивание, по его словам, происходит естественным путем, без вмешательства человека.

Due to large-scale power outages in Dagestan caused by bad weather, residents are forced to use gasoline generators to power ventilators. Problems with energy supply have affected dozens of villages and tens of thousands of people in several regions of the republic.

A state of emergency in hydrology has been introduced in Moldova for 60 days due to a critical drop in water levels in the Dniester reservoir. Environment Minister Georgiy Khazhder warned of risks to water supply and the operation of hydroelectric power stations.

Climate change has become the main reason for the appearance of hybrids of polar and brown bears on Kunashir Island in the Sakhalin region. Melting Arctic ice is forcing polar bears to move south and brown bears to move north, leading to habitat crossings and natural interbreeding of species without human intervention.

State hunting inspector of the Arkhangelsk region Evgeny Volkov told TASS that the behavior of brown bears in Siberia is noticeably different from the behavior of animals in the northern regions of the European part of Russia due to high numbers, decreased fear of humans and a lack of natural food. Since April 2026, more than 80 cases of bears entering populated areas have been recorded in the Arkhangelsk region, compared to 21 for the same period last year.

In 2026, commercial catches included small pink salmon weighing up to 800–900 grams, a colossal number of juvenile Pacific salmon were observed in the Kamchatka Gulf and on the western coast of Kamchatka, and bluefin tuna also appeared in Far Eastern waters, which causes concern among scientists.

Game biologist Sergei Sokolov linked the increase in the number of conflicts between people and bears in the Far East with the disappearance of hunting dynasties and traditions, which is why animals no longer perceive humans as a threat. He proposed temporarily removing the bear from the list of restricted species and reducing the cost of hunting permits.
