Free the Bears, TRAFFIC
Southeast Asia and the IUCN Bear Specialist Group are pleased to announce that
the first international symposium dedicated to the conservation and management
of the world’s smallest ursid - the Sun bear - will be held from the 4th
to 6th September 2017 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The symposium will
bring together field researchers, conservation managers, environmental
educators and conservation breeding specialists, as well as government and
industry representatives to share experiences and create a coordinated plan for
the conservation of one of Southeast Asia’s least known large mammals.
The symposium will be designed
to encourage presentations and discussions that will contribute towards a
range-wide conservation strategy for Sun bears which will be developed during a
conservation planning workshop to be held on the 7th and 8th
September, immediately after the symposium.
(Note: Due to limited availability, participation in the
Conservation Planning Workshop will be by invitation only. Only those who
attend the Sun Bear Symposium will be eligible to participate in the
conservation planning workshop.)
