The Spectacled Bear Conservation Society Peru (SBC) was founded in 2009, and is a rapidly growing leader in wildlife conservation in Peru; our mission is to ensure the conservation of the spectacled (Andean) bear and other wildlife in both the Andes-Amazon and the equatorial dry forest habitat of north-western Peru through research, education, and community engagement. We work collaboratively with rural communities to improve their social and economic well-being through community outreach and alternative livelihood initiatives, with the goal of decreasing human impact on the local ecosystems while also lifting up the surrounding communities, allowing people and wildlife to coexist. We operate with the understanding that conservation cannot happen unless the local communities are involved and their needs are met.
