Goal of the program<\/h1>

The program aims to contribute to the conservation of the Romanian brown bear population through the creation of a model area in the sense of practical bear conservation and conservation oriented scientific research, demonstrating good practices applicable elsewhere too.<\/p>

Location of the program<\/h1>

Most of the program activities are concentrated in two adjacent target areas: a hilly area (Western foothills of the Gurghiu Mountains, located in Mures County) and part of the Gurghiu Mountains (south of the Gurghiu River, part of Romania\u2019s Eastern Carpathians, located in Mures and Harghita Counties). Some of the activities are not restricted to the two areas.<\/p>
