Less rain, more drought: people in Japan are reporting more frequent and violent run-ins with certain species of animals – even monkeys and dolphins. As DW's JulianRyall writes, climatechange is to blame.
Dramatic changes in the landscape of rural Japan have caused significant changes in the behavior of the nation's wild animals, leading to more frequent — and more violent — clashes with humans.
Authorities had to close the city's airport, shut down 42 schools and put a military base on lockdown before the 2-meter bear was shot. In southern Japan, residents of the tiny island of Kakara are considering evacuating as wild boars have largely taken over, destroying crops of pumpkins and sweet potatoes and becoming increasingly aggressive and territorial.
Local authorities in Yamaguchi Prefecture, in southern Japan, reported 66 incidents in July alone and issued advice to local residents to not make eye contact with a monkey as it could be perceived as a challenge and precipitate an attack.
