Spectacled Bear Conservation Felted Critters

With only isolated populations left, spectacled bears are at risk of extinction.

Spectacled (or Andean) bears are a vulnerable species seriously threatened by habitat loss, habitat fragmentation and human-wildlife conflict. The lack of knowledge about spectacled bears in the wild impacts our ability to make conservation decisions or plans.Spectacled bears are the only bear species in South America with potentially as few as 2,500 mature individuals remaining. 

Buy a Felti and Protect Spectacled Bear Habitat!

The Felti program is a vital component of our work that results in the creation of community-supported protected areas.

We can partner with more communities, hire and empower more local women, and protect more spectacled bear habitat by selling more Feltis. 100% of the proceeds from our Felti sales go back into SBC’s conservation programs.
