Regarding the abundance of acorns, which bears feed on, the Prefectural Wildlife Damage Control Support Center announced by the 30th the results of a survey that this fiscal year will be a "poor harvest." Until last year, there had been three consecutive years of "poor harvests," and this is the first time in five years, since fiscal 2020, that there has been a worse harvest. Bears' appetites increase from September to November in preparation for hibernation, so the risk of them appearing in human settlements is said to be extremely high. The center is calling for people to pay attention to the information provided by municipalities about bear sightings, and to properly handle crops and fruit to avoid attracting bears.
