"A scheme to reintroduce brown bears to the Pyrenees is showing signs of
success, with 70 individuals identified in 2021, the highest number for a
century.

The population has increased from 52 in 2018, according to figures produced by
the cross-border group that monitors the bears in France and Spain, with half
the creatures living in the Catalan Pyrenean regions of Vall d’Aran, Pallars
Sobirà and Alta Ribagorça. Overall, the population is thinly spread over an
area of 6,500 sq km.

The study identified 34 females, 32 males and four others whose gender was not
determined, with 15 pups born over the course of last year. There have been a
114 newborns since the scheme was launched in 1996."
