In 2019 Patagonia & Tides sponsored Salviamo l’Orso for the project The Cutting Edge of Conservation, for removing at least 12,000 m of barbed wire.
In twenty days of work, our volunteers removed 45,000 m of barbed wire, equal to 15,000 m of fences from the mountains of Cocullo, Gioia dei Marsi, Pettorano sul Gizio and Villalago. If we add the barbed wire which was removed in 2017 for the project Let’s take action for the bear, sponsored by EOCA, this total rises up to 65,000 m of wire and 24,000 m of fencing.
We warmly thank all volunteers who take part in this action, the staff of Rewilding Apennines and Wildlife Adventures.
Even the Abruzzo Messaggero of 30 December 2019 reported this news. You can find further information on the project on this page on our website:
