Foresters and hunters of the Cherkasy region conducted a registration of wild animals in local lands. The amount of game in the forests is within the optimal number, and in some hunting grounds it exceeds the optimal level.

This was reported on Facebook by the Cherkasy Regional Department of Forestry and Hunting.

According to the head of the hunting sector of the regional administration Vladimir Rybalka, in recent years, the population of elk, deer, roe deer has been steadily growing.. After the African plague epidemic, the wild boar population began to recover, he added..

This year, 89 fallow deer were also recorded, which have recently begun to be bred in hunting farms.. In addition, elk in the forests of the Cherkasy region counted 100 heads, red deer - 266, spotted - 851, roe deer - 8290 and more than 1600 wild boars..

But the population of hares began to decrease - from 38 to 37 thousand. And this trend is growing. This is associated with the treatment of fields with chemicals.. According to him, farmers save money and try to buy cheap Chinese medicines, corrode wild fauna..
