NHK Educational TV's science education program "Science ZERO" will air a segment titled "Reduce Damage! Taking on the Mysterious Bears" on March 1st at 11:30 pm. Last year, bear attacks reached their worst level ever. Researchers from across the country stepped up to try to stop the damage with the power of science, and little by little, the true nature of bears is beginning to emerge.
Bears are now invading urban areas and threatening human life. However, the reasons for this situation have not been fully understood. Researchers across the country are now working together to conduct research using the power of science to find countermeasures.
What kind of individuals are there and how are they appearing? They are being tracked using collar cameras. The basic principle of countermeasures is to know how many bears there are, but this is becoming a difficult problem. We take a closer look at the cutting edge of research into the mysterious bears.
