  • Record litters revive bear population of the Pyrenees - to the dismay of farmers

    A record number of bears were born in the Pyrenees mountains last year, pushing the population back from the edge of extinction - and angering farmers. The bear population in the mountains separating France and Spain grew to 64 in 2020, including 16 cubs, according to animal rights activists. "It's a record - never before have nine litters been detected in the Pyrenees since we started studying the bear population," the Pays de l'Ours and Adet et Ferus associations said on Thursday. Farmers have made no effort to hide their dismay at the rewilding of bears as they also face a growing threat of wolves and reintroduced lynx. Sheep have jumped off cliffs and fallen to their deaths to escape the bears, and hundreds have been killed, they claim. Farmers are joining in fierce protests and complain about government compensation for their ransacked livestock.
