Under the umbrella of a framework agreement, the Department of Environment, Housing and Land Management of the Junta de Castilla y León and the Brown Bear Foundation (FOP) maintain a permanent collaboration scenario to develop actions and projects that include monitoring of the bear population within the autonomous territorial scope, conservation of the species and its habitat, research and environmental education.
The exhibition “En Zona Oso” is also part of this area of collaboration. It is a permanent exhibition housed in the Casa del Parque Natural Montaña Palentina, owned by the Junta, and to which the FOP has contributed by providing some of the most important exhibition elements. The Casa del Parque is located in the town of Cervera de Pisuerga, Palencia. The brown bear is the guiding thread for learning about the values of this rich natural space, which belongs to the European network of protected areas Red Natura 2000.
Currently, the Natural Heritage Foundation of Castilla y León, dependent on the Regional Government, is a partner in LIFE Bears with a Future, coordinated by the FOP, within the framework of which it develops forestry and silvicultural actions, and environmental education activities.
