We couldn't do this alone! To accomplish BearConnect activities, we are collaborating with relevant stakeholders (governmental agencies, research institutions, NGOs, protected areas’ administrations, universities) that have collected data for the 10 brown bear populations in Europe. We are grateful for their cooperation.
