They are found in Siberia (Russia), Mongolia, China (mainly in Xinjiang Province), Korea and Japan. The Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia is well-known for its population of large brown bears.The distribution of brown bears can vary within each region depending on local conditions such as food availability and human activity. In general though, they prefer areas with dense vegetation cover for shelter and feeding on a diverse diet that includes berries, nuts, grasses as well as fish during the salmon spawning season.Human activities such as deforestation and urbanization have led to habitat loss for brown bears in many parts of their range. Additionally, illegal hunting for trophies or body parts has further threatened their populations. Efforts are being made to conserve these magnificent creatures through protected areas and conservation projects aimed at habitat restoration and reducing human-bear conflicts.
