WHAT HAPPENED
According to a government survey reported by the South China Morning Post, bear‑related complaints are straining the operations of 40 % of Japan’s local governments, amid a surge in encounters with the animals this year.
The survey covered 40 prefectural and municipal councils, and 17 of them said the influx of complaints had disrupted their normal operations. Ten councils noted that individual phone calls could last more than an hour, while five reported an overwhelming number of grievances received through their websites.
The spike in bear encounters reflects growing human‑wildlife conflicts in the region, and the mounting administrative burden underscores the need for better management strategies.
