What YOU Can Do To Help Bears
... The more informed you are, the more you will be able to help.

 

If you buy wood, check that it’s from sustainably managed woodland habitat destruction is a major cause of declining bear numbers and bear species such as sun bears live in areas of the world where logging is having a major impact on numbers.

Make sure that you don’t buy products that come from bears. 

Why not adopt a bear? Bear adoption is a good way to support conservation work and the rehabilitation of bears that have been farmed for their bile.

Campaign to stop bear-baiting, bear farming and the hunting of endangered bears for ‘sport’.

Inform yourself about the plight of endangered bears and spread the word. Read books, get in touch with organisations and search the internet for information. The more informed you are, the more you will be able to help. Draw attention to the plight of bears. Tell your friends and family about the situation

If you use traditional medicine, check that it does not include bear gall-bladder/bile. If your practitioner uses animal products in their medicine ask them to use herbal alternatives.

If you see a bear that is used for ‘entertainment’ such as dancing or to attract visitors to a hotel ask to see the hotel manager and politely let them know that you object to this and may not use their hotel in the future if it continues.
