In the past, the brown bear was found in all the forested mountain regions of Bulgaria. This is known from written and oral evidence, and there are places with names including the word “bear” where no bears have been seen for a long time. The bear conflicted with the interests of man; it did enough damage to agriculture to be condemned as a pest, and its extermination was encouraged.
