Igor Shunievich

Igor Shunievich is a prominent figure in Belarusian wildlife management and hunting regulations. He has recently been in the news discussing the increasing populations of bears and lynxes in Belarus, emphasizing the importance of sustainable hunting practices. Shunievich noted that while there is a growing interest in hunting these species, it is unlikely to lead to a significant increase in hunting activity due to the challenges associated with hunting large animals. He advocates for a balanced approach to wildlife regulation, drawing comparisons with the situation in Russia, where bear populations have surged without effective management.
