To protect Europe’s natural heritage, Barbara Promberger-Füerpass and Christoph Promberger have established the Foundation Conservation Carpathia (FCC).

    of local population:

    • Prevention of large carnivore conflicts through livestock guardian dogs and electric
      fences, on-site intervention in case of acute conflicts, and compensation offers by
      FCC in case of livestock kills (replacement of equivalent cows or sheep).
    • Reintroduction of bison and beaver in the project area
    • Monitoring of bears, wolves, lynx and red deer

Contents Excursions:

  • Ecotourism under the theme of large wildlife: bear watching in observation huts of the
