Mission
The Bear Specialist Group (BSG) strives to promote the conservation of bears living in their natural habitats across their worldwide distribution.
We do this by:
- > gaining, synthesizing and disseminating information;
- > aiding, promoting and supporting conservation initiatives;
- > providing technical assistance and building capacity of those involved or interested in bear conservation; and
- > becoming directly involved in issues that reduce threats and foster the conservation of any of the 7 species of terrestrial bears.
