During the December 2015 technical obstacles (i.e. razor wire fence) were placed along the Slovenian side of the border with Croatia as a safety precaution due to the migrant crisis. In the LIFE DINALP BEAR project team we are deeply concerned that the technical obstacle along the Slovenian-Croatian border will cause disruption of normal wildlife […]
