摘要: From a conservation point of view, Macedonia's brown bear (Ursus arctos) population appears to be key link in the distribution one Europe's largest populations, Dinaric-Pindos population. The lack information concerning Republic Macedonia and acceptance by local people inspired us explore knowledge perceptions bears that could relevant for their conservation. Accordingly, we adopted qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews determine how specific behaviour ecology can influence, through interactions, peoples' perceptions. Our results show due numerous informants' appeared detailed consistent, both internally with existing scientific literature about bears. Bear allows them located, individualised thus appropriated villagers, also identified as an alter-ego. For occasional harmfulness is not result general characteristic general, but some individual bear's behaviour. Finally, enjoy relatively good image long react against individuals cause damage.
