EU moves to protect large carnivores:

There are now around 17,000 brown bears in Europe, spread over 22 countries. While they remain threatened they have done well in places such as Cantabria in northern Spain where their numbers have almost doubled in ten years.

In some good news from the EU, farmers will now receive full compensation for any damages caused by attacks from protected animals like lynxes, wolves and bears.
Other expenses, including installing electric fences or acquiring guard dogs to prevent damage, will also be fully reimbursed.

The EU says the move will help protect large predators in areas where they have come into conflict with humans.
