1. The Japanese government has announced a package of measures to address an increase in bear attacks on human communities.
2. The measures include emergency actions such as using retired police and military personnel as hunters, allowing police units with rifles to participate in culling operations, and providing training for hunters to use firearms in populated areas.
3. Short-term actions involve increasing rewards for capturing bears, subsidizing local governments that employ licensed hunters, and using electric fencing more extensively. Mid-term goals aim to reduce the number of wild bears and establish guidelines to separate bear and human territories.
