“Villaggio Degli Orsi”, what is it?First of all, it’s a project, written by dr. Stefano Filacorda and his team from the University of Udine,
where main actors are Nature and Local Community

The main goal is to establish an alliance between these two actors:culture, traditions, local products, crafts, … Life of human beings is constantly connected
with natural elements and their dynamics.

“Valli del Natisone (Natisone Valleys)” are the “pilot area” of the project : they belong to Friuli VeneziaGiulia region (Italy) but they are on the border with Slovenia, along The European Green Belt
In our region Bears come spontaneusly from Slovenja and Trentino Alto Adige
