In the May of 2024 the Hiiumaa newspaper asked us for guidelines.
A few years ago, there were no bears on Hiiumaa, the second-largest island in Estonia. However, the bear population in Estonia is thriving and growing, and this spring, at least two bears have been spotted on Hiiumaa. But the residents of Hiiumaa have little experience with bears, so the Hiiumaa newspaper asked us for guidelines on what to do if you encounter a bear. Our team member Bert shared his experiences. If you visit Hiiumaa, seeing a bear is no longer impossible!
