studios in the caucasus nature reserve began the so -called bear census.yes, the bear count traditionally takes place in june, since during this period the predators begin their rut. the animals spend most of their time in the alpine zone, this allows them to be observed freely. to conduct a bear census, the reserve’s territories were conditionally divided into 21 sections. each one is staffed by a group consisting of scientists, state inspectors and volunteers. expedition participants fill out the field form. indicate time, place of observation and result. according to previous census data , up to 350 bears live in the reserve, but there were years when the population of these predators reached 470 individuals. nevertheless, zoologists note a trend towards a decrease in the number of these animals in the caucasus nature reserve. the bear count will last until june 9. we wish all our colleagues a good broadcast, residents of moscow and the moscow region, see you in a few seconds. moscow trams are celebrating 125 years and are approaching this date in updat
