Target: Ms. Albina Ruiz, Minister of Environment of Peru
Goal: Advocate for the protection of the spectacled bear, which is threatened by habitat loss and hunting, by enforcing stronger laws and promoting conservation efforts.
The spectacled bear, also known as the Andean bear, is the only bear species native to South America. Despite being an important cultural icon and playing a vital role in their ecosystem, the spectacled bear is under threat due to habitat loss and hunting.
The spectacled bear’s habitat has been severely impacted by deforestation, mining, and other human activities, leading to a decline in their population. In addition, the illegal hunting of bears for their meat, fur, and body parts has further contributed to their decline.
Immediate action must be taken to address the issue and protect the spectacled bear. Stronger laws must be enforced to prevent habitat destruction and illegal hunting, and conservation efforts must be promoted to help restore and protect their natural habitats.
The protection of the spectacled bear is essential to maintain the ecological balance of their habitat and preserve their cultural significance. Enforcing stronger laws and promoting conservation efforts can ensure a brighter and more sustainable future for this species and for future generations. Demand action now.

With a staggering 96 percent of mammalian life on the planet consisting of human beings and our domesticated animals and a staggeringly minimal 4 percent making up wildlife, hunting wildlife period, is WRONG!!! With our numbers going unchecked and out of control I fear there is no hope for any other species or the planet!
