Hi all. There is a fascinating article at the BBC: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20230627-the-alpine-row-over-problem-bears
The issues facing the Alpine bear project surely will appear here in Spain at some point as they increase in numbers.
In much of the Alps, bears had been hunted into extinction and only remained as stuffed specimens in museums. Now an European Union-funded project called Life Ursus was slowly turning back the clock. The population grew to around 100 today, beyond even the rosiest projections.
But after a series of attacks on people, the future of the bears is now in doubt. What’s going on? Is a tiny number of isolated incidents sparking an Alpine mass panic? Or is there a genuine pattern of unusually troublesome behaviour among the returning bears?
