Bears of the Carpathians/Mathain nan Carpathian

To preserve Romanian wildlife, a 150km-long passage was created in 2010: the Zarand corridor. For bears, this gateway is key to survival.

By constantly expanding and taking up land, humans have reduced wildlife territories, disrupting the natural passages through which animals must travel to meet their needs. Known as 'ecological corridors', these pathways are key to protecting biodiversity. So how do wild species fit into an increasingly inhabited, concrete, developed Earth? Are we capable of sharing territories with other living species?

Beyond creating enclosed, 'safe' reserves and sanctuaries, what are the solutions to preserve these wild areas? All over the world, scientists, environmental protectors and inhabitants of these lands are working together to revive these corridors and restore the free movement of wildlife.

Le bhith an cΓ²mhnaidh a’ leudachadh air rΓ itealachd talmhainn, tha mac an duine air ranntairean fiadh-bheatha a lΓΉghdachadh, a’ cur dragh air na slighean nΓ darra trom feum beathaichean a dhol troimhe gus na feumalachdan aca a choileanadh.

Aithnichte mar β€œshlighean Γ¨ic-eΓ²lach”, tha na starain seo air leth cudromach airson a bhith a’ dΓ¬on bith-iomadachd. Le sin, ciamar as urrainn do fhiadh-bheatha an t-Γ ite aca a ghabhail ann an saoghal concrait, leasaichte, lΓ n daoine? A bheil e comasach dhuinn a bhith beΓ² ann an ranntairean le beathaichean eile? A bharrachd air a bhith a’ cruthachadh tΓ¨armainn β€œsΓ bhailte” dΓΉinte, dΓ¨ am fuasgladh a th’ ann airson nan Γ itichean fiadhaich seo a dhΓ¬on? Air feadh an t-saoghail, tha luchd-saidheans, luchd-dΓ¬on na h-Γ rainneachd agus an fheadhainn a tha a’ fuireach sna tΓ¬rean seo uile ag obair cΓ²mhla gus na slighean seo a neartachadh Γ s ΓΉr gus siubhal saor nam beathaichean seo ath-stΓ¨idheachadh. Tha an t-amas seo mar phΓ irt de cheann-uidhe riatanach eile: a bhith beΓ² le beathaichean fiadhaich.
