This indicator shows the status of the brown bear population in Slovenia and, indirectly, the status of the bear's habitat. It is composed of several sub-indicators: sex structure of animals taken from the wild, various reasons for taking animals from the wild, registration of damage to property caused by bears, and data gathered at permanent counting sites.
