Paragraph 1
Japan's government has created
measures to address record
of bear attacks. The Ministry of Environment reported that 13 people have been killed, and more than 100 have been injured by bears since April. The death
is the highest since records began in 2006. Wildlife management
have devised a plan to reduce the increasing numbers of
, injuries, and encounters with bears. Part of this plan is to reduce bear
in areas where the animals have been sighted. Another
is the establishment of region-specific
targets. Authorities will also set up a
zone in many areas to try to separate bear habitats from human
areas.
