Eurasian Brown Bear Hunting Regulations and Conservation in Croatia

In the present system within Croatia, an annual allowance of 10 to 15 percent of the entire bear population can be subject to elimination.

Firstly, the local economy experiences positive outcomes, and the hunting organizations contribute to employment opportunities for locals. Furthermore, the revenue generated through the sale of hunting permits enables these organizations to compensate farmers for any damages incurred, particularly in relation to beekeeping.
