ROMANIA-ANIMAL-HUNTING-ENVIRONMENT

A bear waits for drivers to provide food, on September 29, 2023, on a road in Covasna, Romania. It was the unexpected sight that made cars stop on a winding forest road in central Romania -- a brown bear asleep, its head on its paws. In Romania, whose Carpathian Mountains are home to the largest brown bear population in Europe outside Russia, bears are increasingly venturing out of the forests - often attracted by food that tourists throw to them.
