Confirmed: Brown bears are conquering the Pyrenees. The population has gone from having to be reintroduced in 1996 to over 50, and this week, six new litters with 12 puppies born in Catalonia and in the Ariege area of France are added to the census.
Another good news from the Spanish Association of Forestry and Environmental Agents (AEAFMA), which collaborates with the Orso Bruno Foundation, is that this year bear attacks on sheep, goats and hives have been reduced by half in Aragon. . One reason could be in the abundance of beech, acorn and chestnuts in France, since, as naturalists recall, more than 90% of their diet is vegetable.

Sorita and Claverina, the females reintroduced from France via the Aragonese border, have had no pups this season. The release was carried out precisely to encourage population growth in the western part of the mountain range, where only males were present. Sorita gave birth to two young, but they were victims of predation by a male. In this subpopulation, smaller than that of the central Pyrenees, this year has seen the largest movement of specimens in decades, since the females received the visit of Neré, Rodri and Canelito (the only one that keeps 50% of the genes of the native species).
Neré is credited with the paternity of two puppies born in the Aran Valley. The journey he made last year in the central Pyrenees, disconcerting experts, demonstrated the growing link between the two subpopulations.
It was a fruitful journey, obviously ...
