  • Oso de Anteojos: The bond between heaven and earth

    Spectacled bear or Andean bear / Brillenbär / Tremarctos ornatus
    Conservation status: VU - Vulnerable

    In various indigenous cultures, the Spectacled bear is a sacred animal, a magical creature symbolising a link between heaven and earth, a mediator between good and evil. He is the guardian of the moorlands and of the water.

    This bear is an intensely shy but charismatic animal living in the lush, isolated cloud forests of the Andes, climbing as high as 4750 m. From time to time he leaves the Highlands to search for food like fruit, berries, cacti, and honey in rainforests, steppe lands or coastal deserts.

    Because of their diet and their long routes, they help to disseminate seeds, allowing the forests they inhabit to survive. They are considered keystone species, meaning their conservation benefits the protection of the páramo, the cloud forests and dozens of species that live there. A large part of the water consumed by Colombians comes from these areas.
