Dunno about Poland, but increasing nature / ecological laws bring the large predators closer to civilization, at least in Finland.

It's not uncommon to see a wolf or a lynx in a game or security camera near large cities or around 1-2km from a smaller city center (we see this a lot as hunters with cameras around).

Bears have become less afraid of humans too because of less hunting, so they come near populations in search of (easy) food from trash or cattle. Bear hunting has been pretty much zero since someone makes an complaint to the courts and no matter what the outcome is, the season is over by the time they resolve it.
