Our team

The Brown Bear Foundation (FOP- Fundación Oso Pardo) relies on the contribution of a multidisciplinary team of collaborators and contracted personnel responsible for carrying out its conservation activities and initiatives. Some of these come from academic fields and are mostly part of the FOP board of trustees and scientific team, advising and guiding the basic lines of action.

Most of the team works directly in rural areas and in the natural environment where the bears live, carrying out surveillance, research and education tasks. The coordination of all these tasks is assumed by the managerial and technical teams that operate from the Santander central office.
