Mircea Fechetas

Mircea Fechetas is a former Romanian Minister of Environment known for advocating for wildlife management reforms in Romania, particularly regarding the country's large brown bear population. He has expressed concerns about the sustainability of the bear population, suggesting that the optimal number should be around 4,000 bears, significantly lower than the current estimates. Fechetas has called for simplified regulations to allow local authorities to take urgent actions, including euthanizing bears that enter human habitats, in response to increasing human-bear conflicts.
