Japan's Bear Problem Escalates

Bears are turning Japan’s rural and suburban spaces into wild zones—this time, a black bear crashed into a Fukushima factory, injuring four people.

Schools shut down, military units were called in, and the government’s scrambling to double traps and hire more bear control staff. Experts warn it’s a coexistence crisis: how do you live alongside wildlife that’s now strolling into Tokyo’s suburbs? Stay calm, don’t run—if you see one.
