South America's only bear species is under threat as human-bear conflict increases. According to conservationists, beekeeping could be part of the solution.
This story was identified by Call to Earth guest editor Erika Cuéllar. She is a biologist and conservationist, and a Rolex Award Laureate.
A bear cub with distinctive yellow circling about the eyes is caught on camera, deep in the dry forests of the Andes mountain range in Bolivia. Beside it, a glimpse of the shaggy black fur of its mother. For six months, researchers had laid camera traps across a 600-square-kilometer area, trying to catch sight of the rare spectacled bear. But besides the occasional photo of an indistinguishable hairy figure with its head out of shot, the elusive species had avoided the lens. The photo was a breakthrough for Bolivian conservationist Ximena Velez-Liendo and her team."We were over the moon, because it wasn't just a bear, it was a breeding population," she says.
