Nepal's Aging Villages Face Bear Attacks

In Nepal, many young people are leaving their villages for better jobs and schools.

This leaves older people like Dorje alone in their homes.

Without young people to scare away bears, these animals are coming closer to houses.

Dorje has been attacked by bears three times.

The bears are attracted to the corn fields, but with fewer people to guard them, the bears are causing problems.

The government has rules to protect the bears, so killing them is not allowed.

Dorje and others are trying to find ways to stay safe, but it's getting harder as more young people leave.
