ABRUZZO, ITALY:
HOME TO THE WORLD’S MOST THREATENED BEAR
Just two hours from Rome, Italy’s Marsican brown bear is one of the rarest and most endangered bears in the world. A cousin of North America’s
grizzly, it is a unique subspecies that became geographically isolated from other brown bears in Europe. With a population of about 60 remaining, the Marsican brown bear is at extremely high risk of extinction.
That’s why we’re supporting Salviamo l’Orso. A local NGO, they’ve been working in ‘corridor’ areas to expand the bear population beyond the Abruzzo National Park to neighbouring protected areas.
Screenings will take place in the legendary Ham Yard Theatre, a state-of-the-art, eminently comfortably cinema that has hosted countless iconic film premieres.
We’ll be screening two new wildlife films on the bear. We’ll be joined by the film’s stars, conservationists and wildlife photographers, all working tirelessly
to save the bear. This is your chance to meet the visionaries of European wildlife, to connect with like-minded nature lovers, and secure a future for wild Italy.
