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.
The Andean Bear Foundation is a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit in the USA.
Volunteer bear trackers walk in the mountains for several hours each day searching for radio signals from radio collared bears. They may also help with tasks such as clearing paths, moving cage traps or helping in the vegetable garden. Find out how to be a wildlife conservation volunteer now!
Teaching volunteers help/teach in local primary schools (depending on experience) and may also teach English to potential tour guides and forest rangers. See how to volunteer as a teaching assistant in Ecuador.
There are also volunteer opportunities for talented mural artists and wildlife photographers or film makers to help on the Andean Bear Conservation Project in Ecuador.
This is a unique opportunity to experience life in a little-visited part of Ecuador whilst helping to save an endangered species. Very little is known about the Andean bear and you can help with ground-breaking research to help us understand the bear and save it from extinction.
