The Andean Bear Foundation supports the Andean Bear Conservation Project, based in Ecuador. Our goal is to save the Andean (Spectacled) Bear from extinction through in-field scientific studies and through the rehabilitation and release of captive bears. We monitor both wild and rehabilitated bears, by direct observation and through the use of radio tracking equipment. We aim to improve human understanding of these gentle creatures by gathering data on their diet, behaviours and social interaction in order to implement a strategy for their survival. Time is running out for the Andean Bear. The tranquil cloud forests of the Andean mountain ranges, where these bears live, are rapidly disappearing. Your support will really make a difference.
