Green Party wants more bears in the Czech Republic

The Czech Republic's Green Party wants the bear count in the Czech Republic to rise, and the party has incorporated this goal into its election campaign. The Green Party's position is that historically, bears belonged to the environment of Bohemia and Moravia, and their presence should be renewed. Although bears have long ago largely disappeared from the Czech Republic, from time-to-time some surface in the Beskydy Mountains of Moravia, having crossed over from the Slovak Republic in search of food. Sheep are often the victims of bears in the Moravian region, but because bears are an endangered species in the Czech Republic, sheep farmers can merely seek compensation for their losses from the state.
