Deputy Kanokov proposed measures to combat bears' approaching humans.
[Regnum] Bears have begun to frequent populated areas in Russia, and this problem needs to be addressed systematically. Timur Kanokov, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Tourism and Tourism Infrastructure Development, announced this on October 3.
Deputy Kanokov proposed measures to combat bears' approaching humans.
He noted that consideration should be given to the mandatory installation of special lockable containers with lids at tourist campsites and recreation areas in bear habitats. Regional authorities and Rosprirodnadzor (the Federal Service for Supervision of Natural Resource Usage) should be involved in this matter.
In addition, the deputy proposed developing uniform federal recommendations for tourists traveling to animal habitats.
"The tourism industry must be involved in this work: tour operators and guides are required to immediately report encounters with predators to the appropriate authorities and suspend travel along the route until the threat is eliminated," he added in a conversation with RIA Novosti.
According to the deputy, special attention must be paid to waste management along tourist routes and stops.
Bear attacks on people have become more frequent in various regions of the country. On September 26, a bear attacked two men in Buryatia. They were hospitalized at a Ulan-Ude medical facility. Doctors are assessing their condition as moderate.
On September 25, in the village of Markovo, Chukotka, a bear attacked a man returning from fishing. It happened near the village bathhouse. The bear attacked him from behind and stole his catch. The man survived, but had to be hospitalized.
On October 1, Irkutsk Region Governor Igor Kobzev announced that 342 aggressive bears had been killed in the region. According to the governor, 142 groups of game managers, rangers, and experienced hunters have been formed in the region. Every day, 12-15 bears are killed in the region, which is almost five times more than last year.

A can of lingonberries saved a man from a bear in Transbaikalia.
A resident of the Zabaikalsky Krai went into the forest to pick lingonberries when he was confronted by a bear. The dangerous predator was distracted by a can of berries, allowing Vladimir to escape.
The man lives in one of the villages of the Chita region in close proximity to the forest.
"I was picking lingonberries with a bear once. At first, I thought a cow or deer had approached, but when the dogs became agitated, I realized something was wrong," a local resident told RIA Novosti.
According to him, he tried to carefully move away from the predator, after which he grabbed a pole, hit the pine tree with it and screamed.
“Then he started running, dropping his windbreaker and a five-liter can of berries,” the agency’s source added.

Vladimir ran to the road, where he met hunters.
"One of them ran with a gun to the clearing where the bear was and fired once. Then he brought back my windbreaker, torn to shreds, and a crushed can," the villager concluded.
According to the man, it was the collected lingonberries that attracted the predator and forced it to stop pursuing him.
Previously, in a national park in the Southern Urals, tourists spent an hour and a half fighting off a bear with songs and shouts. The animal was approximately 150 meters from the group, so the group climbed a slope of large rocks and began singing loudly to keep the animal from getting any closer. They also contacted emergency services. Everything ended well.
