Brown bears attacked Chinese PLA's border outposts in Tibet

Is it feasible to feed them or relocate them? A bear farm perhaps?

It looks like they were hungry and in search for easy food. Guards have to do their duty (understandable) but it was sad to see dogs going after them. Poor animals.

Tibet is infested with bears, increasing human bear conflicts are becoming a major problem in Tibet, every local household has to put long sharp spikes on their doors and fences to deter bears from coming in. But the government still keeps the strict protection law for bears, killing or hurting one is punishable by prison terms.



Those bears look cute as ****. Did you see their big ears. In europe bears have smaller ears.

One way to prevent human/bear encounter is to use smell-proof containers. In Yellowstone National Park garbage is stored in specialized trash cans to prevent bears from accessing human food.

The environment in Tibet is really terrible.
No it’s nature. It’s a sign that most of Tibet is still relatively wild and unspoilt. China should preserve most of the natural beauty, it’s a gift.

Yes, it's a gift. But I don't want to live in a place full of bears.
If anyone likes living in such a place, please.

Not really that dangerous, this Tibetan herder girl tells you a trick, when encountering a wolf or bear while herding sheep or yaks, you just whistle or try to make a loud sound, they'll just run away.

But if you live in the countryside in Tibet, you better have your doors and fence walls protected with sharp spikes, this Tibetan herder girl says that bears used to be very rare but in recent years, the number of bears increased significantly and now they often come to the village for food, so now every house in the village strengthened their doors and windows with metal spikes.

This girl's home was broken in by bears while her family was away, the walls of the house is pretty high and the girl wonders how the bear managed to climb over a wall this high, she suspects it must be one bear standing on another bear's shoulders to scale this wall. After the bear got in, they inflicted a lot of damage in the house, the girl shows the damage done by the bears in the video.

Compensation offers Tibetan herders some recompense for livestock losses​

By PALDEN NYIMA in Lhasa | China Daily | Updated: 2022-04-08 08:32

Nyingchi city in the Tibet autonomous region paid more than 4 million yuan ($633,000) to farmers and herdsmen in compensation for economic losses caused by wild animals last year, the city's forestry and grassland bureau said.

Last year, the bureau received 3,661 claims for damage caused by wildlife, amounting to losses of more than 7 million yuan. Of them, 2,933 claims were settled, it said.

At an average elevation of 3,000 meters, Nyingchi is considered the lowest area in Tibet, but it has the most forest coverage and greatest biodiversity.
The city is home to 120 species of animals and 110 plants under State protection.

"Images captured by infrared cameras show that Nyingchi is home to some rare species, such as Bengal tiger and snow leopard. About 500 black-necked cranes winter here every year, nearly 5 percent of the species' total population," Dradul, deputy head of the bureau, told China News Service.

"Our bureau has always supported the biodiversity survey of the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon. By the end of last year, 80 rare species had been recorded there," he said.

Additionally, the wildlife rescue station has played a key role in protecting animals. In 2021, it helped rescue 56 rare animals.

In recent weeks, police officers from the Lunang police station found an injured Himalayan vulture while on patrol.

The bird was sent to a local clinic to be treated for a fracture of its right wing. It was physically weak as it had not eaten for days, and was later taken to the local forestry and grassland bureau for further treatment.

Nyima, a resident of Gangpa village in Bomi county, said that he and his villagers have benefited from government compensation in recent years.

Gangpa residents farm and herd animals, and conflicts between wildlife and livestock are common.

"In the past, only dholes (a species of wild dog) killed livestock from time to time. But in recent years, Tibetan brown bears, macaques and black bears have also come to the village to kill livestock and cause trouble," Nyima said.

He said that four of his family's cows were killed by wildlife last year. They received 4,000 yuan for two adult cows and 300 for young cows.

"All the meat was gone apart from their hides, and based on our experience, we confirmed that the perpetrators were dholes," he said.

"A few days back, a yak was killed. We suspect it was by a Tibetan brown bear, because some of the yak's meat was found buried, and other wildlife don't know how to do that.

"I hope the government will increase the compensation ratio for young livestock killed by wildlife."

Also Bengal Tigers and rinos in Medog region in southern Tibet.
Tigers yes, no Rhinos.
Tibetan hunters come over to our side to hunt, usually for musk deer. Preferred gun is 0.22 rifle, presumably for its quietness

Guns are strictly illegal in China.
