The Andean Bear Conservation Project is part of the
Fundacion Espiritu
del Bosque (meaning "Spirit of the Forest"), and is
based in Ecuador. Our goal is to save the Andean 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. 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 their 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 can not continue this critical work.
