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.

[https://mcusercontent.com/24f3786e3f449a1570e33a263/images/854cc6ee-2e37-df…] 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.
