Description
Stand Up For Sun Bears is a sign showed before sun bear light sculpture in Taronga Zoo 100th birthday parade in Sydney.
Since 1997 Free the Bears has employed a range of strategies aimed at bear protection and species survival in SE Asia. Continuing in this role, in partnership with the IUCN SSC Bear Specialist Group, Animals Asia and local government authorities in Vietnam and Cambodia, Free the Bears are initiating a project that aims to fill gaps in knowledge and strengthen the conservation of wild bear populations through ranger training, wild habitat surveys and long-term population monitoring. Ultimately, this initiative will inform conservation strategies in two globally significant bear range-states while directly engaging with local stakeholders, empowering them as better custodians of forests, bears and wildlife.
Taronga has committed to protecting Sun Bears in the wild by supporting Wildlife Protection Units in Sumatra, and by working in partnership with TRAFFIC to combat illegal wildlife trade through our Wildlife Witness app and by funding a Wildlife Crime Analyst in TRAFFIC’s office.
Free application wildlife witness is there to stop selling their body parts - http://www.wildlifewitness.net/, especially if you live or visit Asia.
Also you can support wildlife by making a donation to Taronga for the wild -
