How Many Marsican Brown Bears Are There in Italy?

This video presents the results of the most extensive and comprehensive genetic monitoring survey ever conducted on the Marsican brown bear, an endemic subspecies that is critically endangered.

Carried out as part of the DigitAP project, funded under Italy’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), the monitoring confirms the stability of the species’ historic core population while documenting a gradual expansion into surrounding peripheral areas.
