Daniel Pinto, operational manager of a special patrol monitoring Iberian brown bears, lifts the remains of a goat to place inside a remote-controlled cage as bait to trap and put a GPS collar on a bear, in Caboalles de Abajo, Spain, August 17, 2023. The patrol wants to improve understanding of the bears' behaviour by monitoring the animals with a new satellite system a team of veterinarians, biologists, and mountain rangers developed in 2021, as well as the remote-controlled cages that can trap the bears without trapping other species. "The aim is to seek solutions to the conservation challenges we face with bears, mainly in urban environments," said David Cubero, coordinator of the brown bear capture and radio-tagging plan.
