Bear Attacks on the Rise in Japan
Since March, bears have attacked over 100 people in Japan, with seven confirmed deaths, the highest number on record since 2006.
The Japanese Ministry of the Environment reports that the increase in encounters between bears and humans is largely due to ecological and demographic issues.
Conservationists explain that multiple factors contribute to the multiplying encounters, including the dwindling number of acorns, a staple in the bears' omnivorous diets, due to climate change.
- Bears are roaming closer to towns in search of food.
- Climate change is affecting the availability of acorns, a key food source for bears.
