Quadcopter makes monitoring bear population easier in Kuznetsk Alatau Nature Reserve.
Quadrocopter helped to register eight bears around the rivers Srednyaya Ters and Nizhnyaya Ters. Picture here and below: Kuznetsk Alatau Nature Reserve
This is reported to be the first time rangers have used drones to take a census of wild brown bears in Russia. Over a five day period they registered eight bears around the rivers Srednyaya Ters and Nizhnyaya Ters.
The experiment was undertaken in part to assess the reaction of the bears to the quadcopters. The reaction from the local bear population was mixed: some came as close as five metres to study the 'big bumblebee'.
Mother bear and two cubs spotted as they are clombing the rocks in search for food.
Others sensed danger and fled as soon as they heard it. Park rangers say they can tell the age and sex of the bear from its appearance.
In the future the inspectors of the reserve plan to use quadcopters to search for and study ungulates, such as elk, Siberian roe and reindeer.
They will also be used to search the reserve for illegal hunters or other activities harmful to nature.
The pictures show not only the bears walking in taiga, but also stunning landscape of Kemerovo region.

The basin of the Kondoma River in Gornaya Shoriya is remarkable for the lime-tree woods which are thought to be the relics of a pre-Pleistocene nemoral vegetation of Siberia.
