In the last two weeks, Salviamo l’Orso volunteers protected three apiaries in the Marsican brown bear’s distribution range in Molise territory.

Among the botanical species that make up the diet of the Marsican bear there is the wild cherry (Prunus avium).

In spring 2019 a young Marsican brown bear crosses an underpass. It is probably one of Peppina’s cubs soon after separation from his/her mother. Cleaning underpasses from rubble and waste of all sorts is one of the actions provided by the “Bear Smart Community” initiative, which Salviamo l’Orso, the Monte Genzana Alto Gizio Nature Reserve,..

Once its defensive function of livestock or reforestation has ceased, barbed wire, as well as the mountain wells or the ghost nets at sea, turns into a dangerous barrier in which wildlife can get trapped, as in the case of the griffon vulture in this video. We hope to go back to the mountain as..
Last year Arianna Calderamo, a student of University Sapienza of Rome, decided to follow our field activities to develop a participatory research, finalized to her thesis.
