We're just days away from the first-look opening of Carey Bear Country! 🐻 Carey Bear Country not only provides our Andean and sloth bears with fully upgraded and brand-new habitats, but supports our conservation work abroad to protect these species.
In India, we work with Wildlife SOS, an organization with the goal to make a lasting change to protect and conserve the country’s natural heritage, forest and biodiversity. Part of their work is managing Agra Bear Rescue, the largest facility of its kind in the world that cares for more than 80 rescued sloth bears.
In Ecuador, we work with Amaru Bioparque Cuenca - Zoológico, an organization that not only protects threatened amphibians, but provides significant support to Andean bear conservation efforts. Today, they are caring for eight rescued Andean bears, and are providing support to a wild bear monitoring program using camera traps and satellite technology to track the movements of Andean bears in real time.
