L´ours brun en Europe Centrale – Cohabitation (im)possible? / Brown bears in Central Europe – Coexistence (im)possible?

"Living on the edge" is a longterm multimedia project reporting about nature and wildlife in Central European countries, thereby unraveling limits and chances for wildlife in highly populated countries. The project was launched by the nature conservation photographers Marc Graf, Christine Sonvilla and Robert Haasmann in 2015. Since then they have dedicated much of their time to documenting wild brown bears in Slovenia by means of high resolution wideangle DSLR-phototraps, stalking, hide photography and photojournalism. Brown bear populations in Slovenia are on the rise and spreading towards the north back into the Alps. Whilst there is little to no tolerance for returning brown bears in many alpine regions, Slovenia has found ways of coexistence that might be interesting also for other places in Europe. With their work, the three photographers aim at disseminating information and increasing awareness for large predators among the public. www.lebenamlimit.at
