Over the summer of 2015 LIFE project dissemination activities have continued focussing on the project itself, its goals and outcomes, both inside the Cantabrian brown bear interpopulation corridor, and in the surrounding areas and for different collectives.
Among other activities, the project coordinator has held conferences and debates in the towns of Cármenes and Villamanín (León) in August, with high levels of participation and interest; we also participated in the Wolf and Bio event (http://www.wolfandbio.org/) held in Riaño (León) in September and in professional courses like those held in Potes (Cantabria) in June, in collaboration with the Cantabria University (http://www.fundacionosopardo.org/index.php/curso-de-verano-universidad-de-cantabria-fop/), and in Villablino (León) in September, in collaboration with the Polytechnic University of Madrid (http://www.fundacionosopardo.org/index.php/curso-de-verano-universidad-politecnica-de-madrid-fop/). Over 100 people have taken part in these events.
