Summary:The brown bear (Ursus arctos) is a rare species that still survive in the Italian alpine space in Trentino, thanks to “Life Ursus” reintroduction project. The presence of the brown bear is extraordinarily important since only high quality natural environments can host this plantigrade. Nevertheless, the brown bear is potentially a dangerous animal, because it can cause damages to crops and livestock while looking for food. For this reason, some people focus on the cost of hosting the brown bear species in the territory where they live and they protest against its presence.

L’orso però può essere un fattore di attrattiva per i turisti interessati alla natura e alla possibilità di vedere l’animale nel suo ambiente naturale. Anche i ...
