In the Krasnoyarsk Territory, more than 650 brown bears were eliminated to regulate the number

More than 650 brown bears have been killed this year in the Krasnoyarsk Territory in order to regulate the predator’s numbers, reports the region’s Ministry of Natural Resources.

Earlier, the relevant departments of a number of regions of Siberia and the Far East reported to RIA Novosti that bears began to go out into populated areas more often due to a lack of food in the taiga and forest fires, and predators are also attracted to unauthorized landfills.

“As of September 24, 2026, 180 orders have been adopted in the region to regulate the number of 1,214 brown bears. As part of the ongoing activities, 653 individuals were killed,” the message says.
