Abruzzo’s 81 Bears, and the Wildlife its Region Won’t Count
Abruzzo has 81 Marsican bears, counted properly at last. Its hunting calendar still runs on numbers nobody has bothered to collect.
Abruzzo is a region worth caring about — and that means staying informed, getting involved, and sometimes speaking up. Community & Advocacy covers the issues that shape daily life here: local governance, environmental challenges, social initiatives, and the rights and realities of living in Abruzzo as a foreign national. We report with balance and context, but we won’t shy away from calling things out when communities are being let down, overlooked, or pushed around. Because belonging somewhere means more than just living there. It means showing up for it.
