The polar bears that settled near the Chukchi village of Ryrkaipiy a few weeks ago are gradually leaving it. Governor of Chukotka Roman Kopin told about this on his Instagram account.

At the beginning of the month, more than fifty individuals of the Red Book animals stopped in the vicinity of the village due to the fact that the abnormally warm weather did not allow them to move along the immature ice by the traditional migration route. The villagers were scared.

According to the governor, the weather conditions made it possible to deliver to Ryrkaipiy everything necessary to ensure the safety of the local population, in particular: lighting equipment, noise cartridges. In order to take the bears away from the village, feeding points were organized, and the volunteers of the "Bear Patrol" delivered walrus carcasses there as food for the predators.

Despite the stabilization of the situation, the Chukotka authorities have already begun to prepare for next year, it is planned to provide the settlement with everything necessary in advance in case the situation repeats.
