Help
us to save the Andean bears...
The Andean Bear
Conservation Project
is a project of the Andean Bear Foundation, and is based in Ecuador.
Our goal is to save the Andean Bear, Tremarctos ornatus,
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. Our aim is to
improve
human understanding of these gentle creatures by gathering data on
their diet, behaviours and social interaction.
Time is running out for
the Andean Bear. The tranquil cloud forests of the Andean mountain
ranges, where these bears live, are rapidly disappearing. Without a
better understanding of the bears' needs there is no way to
implement a
strategy for their survival.
We need your help! We are
currently the major organisation in the world tracking Andean Bears
with radio equipment. The information we are gathering is vital to
their survival. Despite this we are a small, grass-roots
operation with
little funding. We depend on volunteers
and donations
to survive.
Without your support we cannot continue this critical
work.
The Andean Bear
Foundation is a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit in the USA.

Ecuadorian
non-profit, Espíritu del Bosque, which has now changed its
objectives to be a rescue centre for all animals.
