In Uusimaa, the old province that includes the Greater Helsinki Area, the number of large predators has increased sharply.
The number of bears in the Uusimaa region is not that great, when compared with the regions of Kymi, Southern Savo, Central Finland, and Northern Karelia, each of which have more than 100 bears wandering through the woods.
On the other hand the human population in those areas is not nearly as dense as in Uusimaa, which means that it is about equally likely that a man/bear close encounter of the third kind might take place in the woods in Uusimaa as in Eastern or Central Finland.
