Discovering the Andean Bear in Colombia

The Andean bear (Tremarctos ornatus) is the only bear species in South America and very little is known about its conservation status. We talked with Isaac Goldstein, Coordinator of the Wildlife Conservation Society-Colombia's Andean Bear Research and Conservation program about his work over the past five years to study, monitor, and conserve this mysterious species.
