Conservamos la Vida is a public-private alliance focused on the protection of the Andean bear. It is led by the Fundación Grupo Argos, Parques Nacionales Naturales de Colombia, Fundación Smurfit Kappa, Corporación Autónoma Regional del Valle del Cauca, and Wildlife Conservation Society.
The alliance aims to maintain, conserve, and improve the habitat of the Andean bear, fill knowledge gaps within human communities about the species, and generate information related to management and the economic opportunities that its conservation provides, both directly and indirectly.
As an umbrella species, actions to protect the Andean bear also contribute to the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services, as well as to improving the quality of life for the people who coexist with it.
