TRENTO. It is M91, a young male born – probably – in 2022, the bear that on the afternoon of Saturday 27 April followed a hiker for over a quarter of an hour until he got closer than two metres, apparently showing more curiosity than aggression .
The episode occurred in Trentino, upstream from Molveno, on the Paganella plateau, along the forest road that runs through the Seghe Valley, from the Ciclamino hut to the Croz dell’Altissimo refuge.
The genetic analyzes on the finds collected along the forest road that runs through the Valle delle Seghe were carried out by the laboratories of the Edmund Mach Foundation. There is no previous history of problems with this specimennor by the parents, communicates the Autonomous Province of Trento.
A specialized team of the Trentino Forestry Corps was activated to proceed with the capture of the bear aimed at applying the radio collar to monitor its movements and acquire information on the animal’s behaviour. The communication arrived during one operational meeting at the Government Commissariat of Trento. The summit was an opportunity to develop some mechanisms linked to the operational protocol which takes into consideration different cases: from simple sightings to close encounters.
The goal is to share the specific activities of each component in public rescue activities in addition to that of identify forms of communication to citizens in the areas most frequented by plantigrades, which will be carried out by specialists from the Autonomous Province of Trento.
