LIMA Lima, Peru (1565-date)

Comments

It is the only species of bears that live in South America and its largest population is found in Peru. This species is key to the balance of ecosystems such as cloud forests and dry Peruvian forests due to its predatory role, its ability to disperse seeds and pollinate plants through pollen adhering to its coat. In the world view of the Andean and Amazonian peoples he is considered as a mediator between man and the dead or the challenges, and as the creator of life or "elder brother". This species has been seriously affected by the loss of its habitat and illegal hunting, for which it is included and categorized as Vulnerable in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. Since 2016 there is a National Plan for its conservation.
