DISCOVER DINARICS AND ITS BEST KNOWN LARGE CARNIVORE:
THE BROWN BEARThe northern Dinarics represent large areas of preserved nature of exceptional conservation value, covering parts of Slovenia and
Croatia. The area is amazingly rich with natural and cultural heritage. Extensive oak, beech and conifer forests are home to Eurasian lynx,
wolf and brown bear.
Densities of bears in northern Dinarics are one of the highest in Europe. They live in human-dominated landscapes, sharing same areas with people. Food can attract them to settlements, where they can cause
problems to local communities. If they find unprotected livestock, beehives or crops, they can cause considerable damage. Such conflicts
reduce human tolerance, which is crucial for their long-term survival. Luckily, conflicts with large carnivores can be avoided with appropriate
conflict mitigation measures. When visiting nature, never leave any organic waste where bears can get it. It is very important that bears
do not associate food sources with human presence. Help us maintain bears’ natural shyness.
SUPPORT BEAR FRIENDLY PRACTICESBearfriendlylabelpromotespracticesthatreduceconflictsandcontributeto better coexistence between people and large carnivores.
The label is awarded to products like honey, meat and milk to honour the useofeffectiveprotectionmeasuresamongfarmersandbeekeepersinthelarge carnivore area, giving them sense of recognition to their commitment. Moreover, the label can be applied to a wide variety of local products and services that promote bear conservation in the local area, like souvenirs, tourist accommodation and responsible tourism programs.

KEY FACTS ABOUT BEAR BEHAVIOURNATURAL WARINESS:Typicallyitisdifficulttoseeabearintheirnatural habitat since they tend to avoid humans.
OPPORTUNISTIC FEEDING:Bearsareclassifiedascarnivoresbutare omnivorous (mostly vegetarian) in practice. They also feed on anthropogenic food (e.g. garbage, domestic animals, crops) when available and unprotected.

HOME RANGE SIZE: Bears need lots of space. Even the largest Central-European forest complexes are smaller than many bears’ home range. Therefore bears overlap with humans.

RESPONSIBLE BEAR TOURISMBearsintheDinaricsaresymbolsofpreservednatureandsuccessfulcoexistence between people and large carnivores. Being in the same landscape, seeing signs of bears presence such as a track or a scat, is drawing visitors in the region. However, poorly managed bear tourism can encourage undesirable behaviours, increasing the level ofconflictsbetweenlocalpeopleandbears.
Discover Dinarics portal is featuring best practice wildlife tourismprograms offered by different local tour operators that follow theguidelines for responsible wildlife tourism. Programs support on-the-ground conservation of bears and promote human-bear coexistence.
Visit: discoverdinarics.org
Help us keep our bears wild. Choose tour operators that
follow the guidelines for responsible bear watching.
HOW TO BEHAVE IN THE BEAR AREAS?Bear are generally shy. They perceive humans as threat and avoid confrontations. However, please keep in mind the following when visiting bear areas:
In the forest, make yourselves noticeable (e.g. by talking or whistling), especially while passing through dense vegetation or in low visibility areas.
Keep your dog on a leash at all times. If your dog comes upon a bear, it will probably rush the bear directly and lead it to you when it seeks protection.
Never approach bear cubs because the mother bear is most likely somewhere nearby.
If you see a bear, never try to approach or disturb it. Move away slowly.
When visiting nature, never leave any organic waste where bears can get it. It is very important that bears do not associate food sources with human presence.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU ENCOUNTER A BEAR? When you spot a bear from a distance, retreat slowly from the way you came and give the bear plenty of space to continue its route. Never run away!
If a bear is coming towards you and it has not yet seen you, make yourself noticed by speaking calmly and retreat slowly.
Donotthrowrocksoranyobjecttowardsthebear.Abearthatfeelsthreatened may act defensively and the risk of an aggressive reaction increases.
Never run away from a bear or try to climb a tree. Bears are good climbers and can reach up to 50 km/h.
If a bear attacks you, neverfightback.
A bear standing on its hind legs is a sign
of curiosity.
