The spectacled bear: South America's only bear species | Candid Animal Cam

The spectacled bear lives in only 3% of South America between Bolivia and Venezuela but shares habitat with at least 76% of mammal species in the subcontinent. That is why it is considered an umbrella species for the conservation of biodiversity.

Special thanks to the Spectacled Bear Conservation Society-Peru for sharing their footage with us, and Renzo Piana, director of SBC-Peru (https://www.sbc-peru.org), for providing the video clip about the organization’s conservation program.
