Apennines Marsican Bear Heritage Area

The Central Apennines — or the wild heart of Italy, as it’s often known — is home to swathes of naturally and deliberately rewilded habitats. Among thriving biodiversity lives the endangered Marsican brown bear, of which there are only 60 left in the world. A new bear-smart project, based on successful pilots in British Columbia, Canada helps the local community coexist with the bears and benefit from the tourism they bring. The Marsican brown bear is a subspecies of brown bear that only exists in this central part of Italy. Due to habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict bears are critically endangered. Dating back to the 15th Century, the bears are embedded in the traditions, stories, and life of the Apennines’ rural communities.
