社会｜クマ対策の新たな取り組み / Society | New Initiatives for Bear Management

Summary

Recently, it was announced that fences are being installed around outdoor hot springs as a measure against bears.

This initiative is crucial for ensuring the safety of both tourists and local residents, particularly in areas where bear sightings are common. Local governments are encouraging more facilities to implement safety measures by providing subsidies for the installation of these fences. In the future, this is also expected to contribute to the revitalization of the tourism industry.

Admin’s Note

I believe that installing bear-proof fences is a very important measure for the tourism industry. Especially in areas rich in nature, we need to consider coexistence with bears. As this initiative progresses, it will create an environment where not only tourists but also local residents can feel safe. I hope that with strengthened safety measures, the day will come when we can enjoy tourism without any worries.
