RESUMEN
The objective of this plan is the sustainable conservation of the Spectacled Bear (Tremarctos ornatus) populations in the Amazon Andean mountains in Colombia, in the Kamsá indigenous territory. This species is clinging to survival due to systematic elimination by 3 anthropogenic threats: Poaching and illegal trafficking; destruction of habitats and climate change. Through this strategy, we will strengthen the conservation capacities of the Kamsá indigenous community, cohabiting with this species and the main agent of elimination, due to lack of environmental education. We propose 4 strategies: 1. Education: train 1,500 young Kamsá indigenous people in mammalian conservation in the Colombian Andes. 2. Conservation: creation of a 64Km2 safety area in priority habitats and ecological corridors of the bear. 3. Sustainability: Create a regional indigenous office whose corporate purpose is the conservation of the Spectacled Bear, led by young indigenous environmentalists, trained from the project. 4. Communication: inform 10,000 people about activities and results, to encourage investment in conservation in the Kamsá indigenous territory.
Keywords: conservation, Spectacled Bear, Kamsá indigenous people, Andean mountains, Amazon.
