Palombar organized, in October 2021, the 'Networking Event - What if the Brown Bear comes back?', an Iberian event whose main objective was to debate in advance what may be one of the great challenges of nature conservation in Portugal: the potential return of the brown bear (Ursus arctos) to the north of the country and its coexistence with humans, and to lay the foundations for future cross-border actions for the conservation of the species on national territory.
