During the month of May, we had the pleasure of accompanying an institutional delegation from the Government of Andorra<\/strong>, led by the Minister of Environment, Agriculture and Livestock, Guillem Casal; the Director of the Department of Environment and Sustainability, S\u00edlvia Ferrer; the Director of the Cos de Banders (Andorra\u2019s environmental ranger corps), Ferran Teixid\u00f3; and the Wildlife Unit specialists Jordi Sol\u00e0, H\u00e9ctor del Val, and Josep Maria S\u00e1nchez.<\/p>\n

\"\"The purpose of the visit, as Minister Guillem Casal himself explained, was to prepare for the stable return of the brown bear in Andorra, acknowledging that its conservation requires active planning and ensuring incident\u2011free coexistence between human activities and the presence of the bear. In this regard, Somiedo was seen as a particularly relevant example, both for the management of its territory and for the similarities it shares with Andorra.<\/p>\n


Throughout the visit, experiences and insights were exchanged with David Villar and Marcos Da Rocha (General Directors of Land Stewardship and Agricultural Planning of the Principality of Asturias, respectively), Belarmino Fern\u00e1ndez (Mayor of Somiedo), Luis Fernando Alonso (Director of the Somiedo Natural Park), and\u2014within the framework of the LIFE Human Bear COEX<\/a> project\u2014with Guillermo Palomero (President of the Brown Bear Foundation), as well as representatives from other key bear areas such as Mario Rivas (Mayor of Villablino, Castilla y Le\u00f3n).<\/p>\n

A few days earlier, we accompanied a team from the Cos de Banders, who exchanged information and experiences on bears and capercaillies with environmental technicians and agents from the Principality of Asturias and the Regional Government of Castilla y Le\u00f3n, as well as with teams from the Brown Bear Foundation. These meetings are always highly valuable, helping to expand the knowledge of all participants, encouraging discussion on shared challenges and solutions, and strengthening cooperation among territories that face common biodiversity conservation issues.<\/p>\n\n\n
