Bears are keystone, or umbrella, species. Each population of bears is of great significance to the wider ecosystem in which it lives. If steps are taken to protect a bear population’s habitat then the whole related environment and the animals and plants within it also benefit.
Bear Conservation is a non-profit organisation advocating and campaigning for the welfare, conservation and protection of bears and their environments, both in captivity and the wild.
Our vision is a world where bears are given the necessary protection and space to live out their lives in their natural habitats.
We provide accessible, accurate and comprehensive sources of information on all things “bear” to help those who want to learn more about them and help us to achieve our vision.
Bears are in trouble and need our help
