Novosibirsk authorities called periodic shooting of baboons a necessary measure. Today there are more than 21 thousand individuals in the region. The residents discuss that because of rodent dams, vegetable gardens are flooded, rivers become swamps and trees die; In the Novosibirsk region, the authorities even allowed 20 people to be shot to ease the situation. The Ministry of Natural Resources of the Novosibirsk region informed the Podium publication that in the last century, beavers in the region were almost exterminated, so 299 animals, mainly Belarusians, were brought to the region, which helped to restore the population, which had grown greatly in recent years. "The number of European beavers in the Novosibirsk region for the period 2015-2026 increased from 16,087 to 21,716 individuals. The number of beavers is increasing in the area. Where there are problems, we take steps to settle the number without fail: we issue orders and shooting is done. Regulation within the order is a coercive measure that has nothing to do with amateur and sporting hunting." The department added that there really is a problem with beavers, but it is important not to increase emotions here, as in the situation with bears. "It is important to take into account its scale while taking into account real data, and not just the emotional background, which is sometimes exaggerated unnecessarily. As a news update on bears now, among other things."
