And watch out for brown bears
Are you a nature lover? Then you should explore the benefits Open Data
can bring you. Did you for instance know that the European Data Portal
can help you to find - or to avoid - brown bears ('Orso Marsicano') in
the region of Lazio, Italy? This dataset
[https://www.europeandataportal.eu/data/en/dataset/mappatura-degli-eventi-presenza-noti-dellorso-bruno-marsicano]
presents the events of bear encounters between the '90s and 2015, and
shows these encounters on a 2 by 2 kilometer grid. Documenting these
encounters is important for the territorial management aimed at
preserving the population of the brown bear. The picture below shows
that in Lazio, bear encounters primarily occur in the mountains in the
east of the region.

If you are afraid of brown bears and more interested in 72 species of
land mammals present in the regional territory of Lazio, then this
dataset
[https://www.europeandataportal.eu/data/en/dataset/banca-dati-mammiferi-lazio]
might be of interest for you: it shows the alerts for land mammals,
which is used for research purposes, incidence assessments, and
regional planning.

Of course, the Lazio region has much more to offer than wild animals.
Did you know that data on the presence of monumental trees

in Lazio is available on our portal as well? Furthermore, an overview
of protected areas and natural monuments is presented below and can be
retrieved here
