In Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture, where bears are infested one after another, a safety measure seminar was held for police officers and firefighters who are on-site.
Last month in Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture, bears invaded the facilities of a shopping center and other bears appeared one after another in the city, and the city held a seminar for the first time to ensure the safety of those who responded.
About 20 people, including police officers, firefighters, and members of the Hunting Club, participated in the lecture, and Professor Toru Oi of Ishikawa Prefectural University, who is studying the ecology of bears, served as a lecturer.
Professor Oi explained the current situation, "The habitat of bears is expanding from the depths of the mountains toward the remote areas, and the possibility of haunting the city is increasing."
On top of that, when searching for a bear, it is important to consider the possibility of being on a tree, be especially careful of corners of the road and encountering it in the bush, and wear a helmet etc. and act with two or more people. I pointed out.
Participants asked, "Is the appearance of bears in urban areas expected to continue from next year onward?" Professor Oi said, "There is also a study that the condition of nuts is changing due to the effects of climate change, etc., for a while. I think the same trend will continue. "
