Let's save South America's only bear species!

The Andean bear, also known as the spectacled bear, is the only wild bear species in South America. The bear is found from Venezuela to Northern Argentina, with the greatest numbers on the borders between Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. Each individual bear requires a minimum of 2,470 acres of connected intact forests and grasslands to sustain a population.

The Andean bear is threatened with extinction, as its habitat is being lost at a rate of approximately two to four percent per year due to mining, agriculture, cattle ranching and lumber operations. We need your help to protect Andean bear populations and safeguard the biodiverse ecosystems bears need to survive!

More about the Andean bear:

  • The Andean bear is a flagship or umbrella species, meaning protecting the habitat of this animal brings advantages to the whole ecosystem.
  • The Paddington Bear is an Andean bear, having come all the way from “Darkest Peru".
  • The Andean bear loves to climb trees (and scratch its back). Check out rare footage here: https://vimeo.com/229907587




Meet the conservationists:

Alexander More

Director of NCI-Peru

Alex is a biologist with extensive expertise in biodiversity research and conservation in Peru. He has supported the Regional Government of Piura in the development of its first Regional System of Natural Protected Areas. Alex has also conducted biodiversity surveys in northwest Peru since 2002. He has played a key role for the establishment of protected areas such as the Salitral and Huarmaca (72,000 acres) that are home to the Andean bear.


Fabián Rodas López

Cuenca Region Coordinator, NCI-Ecuador

Fabián, a biologist, is the regional coordinator for our office in the Cuenca region of southern Ecuador. Over the last five years he has led the coordination to protect a large 100-mile corridor along the Tropical Andes of Ecuador, where the Andean bear lives. He has published articles on bird conservation and on the use of GIS for protected areas. He also served as a university professor from 2000-2002. Fabián has a post-graduate degree in population ecology from the University of Costa Rica.
