Attending the Bear Care Group conference each year has provided me an invaluable experience. As a zookeeper, in order to deliver the best in captive husbandry and advance my knowledge of all bear species, being able to directly converse with the leading bear care specialists, biologists, and conservationists from around the world has no equal. Their passion and dedication to all aspects of bear welfare shows and is changing how bears are cared for and protected globally.
This organization works to help zoos, sanctuaries, and rehabilitation for release facilities improve their care of all eight species of captive bears around the world through educational workshops, conferences, and written materials. In addition, our facebook site The Bear Care Group works to educate members of the public, advocates, and bear care professionals in appropriate captive bear care and conservation efforts globally.
