In Iribarren municipality, Venezuela, monitoring cameras again captured a spectacled bear, also known as the frontino, and her two cubs as they moved through the Andean forest.
The Bararida Zoo and Botanical Garden and the Autonomous Institute of Environmental Management of Iribarren municipality are jointly tracking the bears to ensure their safety and monitor their development after an initial large-scale sighting on March 18.
The recent sighting occurred alongside the official publication of a decree expanding the boundaries of Terepaima National Park. This legal measure now protects the bears’ natural habitat with Venezuelan environmental protection laws. Officials hope this expanded protection will help the bears thrive.
