Strategy for the Conservation of the Andean Bear in PNNC (2016–2031)

This document outlines the conservation status of the species and presents a conceptual model and strategic plan for its protection. It defines five Core Conservation Units (CCUs) that have been identified across the three Andean mountain ranges to ensure the long-term viability of Andean bear populations. The strategy seeks to align efforts with multiple stakeholders to implement planning actions, generate knowledge, and promote the management and conservation of the species within the protected areas of the National Natural Parks System.

Conservamos la Vida: Occupancy Patterns and Conflict Landscape Assessment Between Andean Bears and People in the Tatamá–Farallones–Munchique Core Conservation Unit

This document outlines the probability of Andean bear presence at the habitat and habitat-use scale within the Tatamá–Farallones–Munchique Core Conservation Unit in the Western Andes. It also characterizes the conflict landscape at the property level using surveys and calculates components such as threat, economic vulnerability, management-related vulnerability, damage, and tolerance. The goal is to identify and prioritize management areas to improve the species’ habitat.

Destination coffee

The introduction of this document describes how coffee production that follows good environmental practices and meets high-quality standards encourages the protection of threatened wildlife, while also helping to generate greater income for local producers. This is illustrated through the case study of Andean Bear Coffee, produced by coffee-growing families in El Águila (Valle del Cauca), who have been supported by the Conservamos la Vida program.
