Tatra National Park (TNP), located in the Tatra mountains in Southern Poland comprises the entire Polish part of Tatra Mountains (200 km²). Despite human activities being restricted to especially designated areas in both the Polish and Slovakian National Parks, particularly in the Tatra National Park, human influence is very high, with about three million tourists visiting the park every year.

In 2010, the brown bear population in the area (part of the Carpathian born bear population) was estimated at 20 individuals. Preventive measures such as electric fences to protect buildings, and guarding sheep flocks inside the park and in its close vicinity, are systematically used. If a problem bear appears, aversive conditioning is immediately implemented (e.g. by shooting with rubber bullets) and close monitoring of the situation is conducted. The staff of the Tatra National Park also acts in case of potentially conflicting situations outside the borders of the National Park, e.g. bears entering neighbouring villages.

Information and education campaigns aimed at tourists, hunters and local communities, devoted to increasing awareness about appropriate behaviour and the consequences of bear feeding are continuously conducted. There is also research carried out on a regular basis. For example, in 2013 an external study investigated how aware visitors to Tatra National Park (TNP) were of human influence on brown bears (Spalona 2013).
