Ecotourism in Crimea aims to preserve the environment
The press service of the Tunka National Park has announced the results of the spring brown bear census, which was completed in late June. Specialists recorded 394 individuals. A year earlier, the bear population was smaller by 14 individuals.
The census was conducted on the territory of three inspectorate sections: Turansky, Kyrensky and Zun-Murinsky. During the census work, 12,000 hectares were examined.
“At the moment, the increase in the brown bear population does not have any negative consequences for other species (in particular, ungulates) and humans. Forage conditions on the territory of the national park are satisfactory for the predator,” the message says.
Scientists used the method of direct counting on "beds" as the most acceptable method in the conditions of landscape heterogeneity of the national park territory. In addition, photo traps were used, installed at the intersection of trails laid and actively used by bears.
