• 1. Habitat preservation• 2. Complying with international legislation• 3. Avoidance of risks for humans and their property.• 4. Determination and maintenance of desired bear population size• 5. Economic benefit for local residents through tourism and hunting• 6. Raising of public awareness and sharing management decisions with interest groups. i
CROATIAN BEAR MANAGEMANT PLAN- GOAL -
Maintenance of stable brown bear population in Croatiaat the level that secure the long term survival and coexistence with man.
SPECIFIC GOALS:
![Page 26: European brown bear show trento](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060123/5596a82e1a28abd9408b4587/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Biologically possiblePOPULATION SIZE
The expected density in Croatia could be 10 individual / 100 km2 and locally up to 20/100 km2
Possible capacity is about 1100 individuals.
Desirable population size is provisionally set at 900 individuals.

Vjerovanja o medvjedima - štete
Medvjedi nanose velike štete na usjevima i voćnjacima.

Vjerovanja o medvjedima - turizam
Postojanje medvjeda u našoj županiji povoljno utječe na turizam.

Gospodarenje medvjedima - lov
U Hrvatskoj treba dozvoliti kontrolirani lov na medvjede.

It is important to demonstrate to local people that all unusualevents around bears, and especially when there is a problem situation, they are not left alone.Expert team will work according to the predefined protocoland will have proper skills and equipment.

Arguments why the current system is functioning
• 1. Bears have been hunted as game in Croatia since 1960s and the population grew from less that 100 to over 1000.
• 2. Estimated population gowth rate is 4.8%.• 3. Currently all those bears (1000) together produce in
average cost of 6000 EUR of damages per year. That is incomparably less than any other carnivore in any country that does pay the damages.
• 4. Trophy hunting of bears provides substantial income to local hunting units and makes them interested to maintain the good population.
• 5. Public attitude towards bears is very positive. It has been seriously surveyed in 2002 and 2008.
• 6. There is very little poaching.• 7. We have functioning continuous population monitoring,
Bear management plan, yearly Action plans, functioning Bear management committee, and functioning Bear emergency team.
• 8. Bears have value!
