Russia is implementing new measures to control its growing brown bear population after a series of deadly attacks this year. At least 22 people have died from bear attacks since spring, prompting Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev to announce systemic actions needed for coexistence between humans and bears. The government plans to increase hunting quotas, set regional population limits, and grant local authorities more control over managing the bear population, which has grown to about 308,000 due to climate change impacts like shorter winters and food scarcity for the bears.

Story summary
In September 2023, Russia announced plans to regulate its growing bear population after a series of deadly attacks. At least 22 people have been killed by bears since the beginning of the year, with recent incidents occurring in Kamchatka and Siberia. Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev emphasized the need for systemic measures to ensure coexistence between humans and animals, highlighting climate change and human behavior as contributing factors. The government is considering lifting hunting quotas on brown bears, setting regional population limits, granting local authorities additional powers to control bear numbers, and identifying areas requiring financial support to address these issues. The federal environment ministry has downplayed the situation, stating that around 20 to 30 cases of bear attacks have been recorded annually recently but suggested social media amplifies their perceived frequency.
