Rusi razglasili izredne razmere

Mediji so poročali, da se je od šest do deset medvedov decembra začelo zbirati v bližini naselbin na arhipelagu v ruski regiji Arhangelsk. V Belušji Gubi, ki je upravno središče Nove Zemlje, so jih opazili najmanj 52.

Severni medvedi se sicer rodijo na kopnem, na ledu pa lovijo tjulnje in druge plenice, bogate z mastjo. Globalno segrevanje, ki je  na Arktiki dvakrat hitrejše kot v preostalem delu sveta, uničuje življenjski prostor teh plenilcev, ki so sestradani odšli proti celini.

Svet je zgrožen nad tem, v kaj so zaradi segrevanja ozračja prisiljeni lačni medvedi. "Kaj dela človek našemu planetu: severni medvedi na smetišču," se glasi eden od tvitov ...

The bears have entered homes and buildings in Novaya Zemlya, Russia. Despite the siege, residents have been warned they face prosecution if they shoot the endangered species. Instead a team of specialists has been dispatched to the outpost to advice residents on other measures to discourage the bears. Might be difficult with all that food walking around...

Razlog, da so se medvedi v želji po iskanju hrane preselili blizu obljudenim območjem, se skriva v taljenju arktičnega ledu. Zbirajo se v bližini naselbin, zabeležili pa so tudi primere, ko so vstopili v stanovanjska poslopja.

Ogrožena vrsta

Ker severni medvedi spadajo med ogroženo vrsto, je ruski okoljski varuh zavrnil izdajo dovoljenja za odstrel. Je pa na rusko otočje prišla skupina izvedencev z nalogo preprečiti ponovne napade medvedov na ljudi.
