Description
Sun Bears are the smallest of all the bears in the world, but despite their size they’re strong and can run amazingly fast. Sun Bears are threatened by illegal wildlife trade, where their body parts are used for traditional medicines or food, and by the loss of their habitat in South East Asia.
The fight against the illegal and immoral trade in bears is part of TRAFFIC's important work. In a recent publication, TRAFFIC says: Bears are in high demand and seizures, specifically of paws, are occurring with great and concerning regularity. During 2000-2011 over 6000 bear paws were seized, equating to at least 1500 individual bears. So sad !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful profile of the sun bear sculpture!! yes it is sad that over 1500 bears had been hurt for their paws, but at least those paws are now seized, that will give the traders a big blow and hopefully they will stop their insensitive actions!! L/F

Thank you, but I doubt it , it wont stop anything, as longer they are buyers and people who don't speak up when they see it !
