Tragically, bears are virtually extinct in Western Europe. The remaining population of approximately 5,000 brown bears can be found throughout the Carpathian mountains of Romania.
This area of pristine mountain forest, also home to some of Europe's last remaining wolves and lynx, is one of the largest areas to have survived relatively unscathed by the agricultural and industrial revolutions that damaged so many other European countries between the18th and 21st centuries.
