Estonia has issued an official notice that bears have begun to wake up from hibernation. People are advised to keep dogs on a leash and calmly back away if they encounter a bear. Estonia has around 1,000 bears in the wild. Estonian brown bears live primarily in the northeastern and eastern parts of the country, particularly within the vast and dense forests of the Alutaguse region.
