Bears are increasingly coming to luyads in the Novosibirsk region
The authorities of the Novosibirsk region since the beginning of 2026 received 41 appeals about the exit of brown bears to settlements
Most often, bears are reported by residents of Kolyvan, Kuibyshev, Chulym and other northern and eastern regions of the region. In 2026, the animals were first spotted in the Dovolensky district.
According to monitoring data, there are 1,514 brown bears in the Novosibirsk region. During the year, 12 cases of predator attacks on livestock were recorded. Cases of attacks on people have not yet been recorded.
Experts associate the activity of animals with the feeding situation in the taiga. Before hibernation, bears need to accumulate a sufficient supply of fat. With a lack of food, animals can stay active longer and more often go out in search of food to people.
To regulate the number of brown bears in the region issued 80 permits for the production of animals. To date, 26 individuals have been produced under these licenses, reports NDN.Info with reference to the regional Ministry of Natural Resources.
Earlier, "MK in Novosibirsk" reported that the scientist warned Novosibirsk about the highest intelligence of bears.
