Moon Bear

The Moon Bear, or Asiatic Black Bear, finds its home in Thailand, distinctively marked by a white crescent-shaped patch on its chest. Poaching and habitat degradation threaten this species, with a mere estimated 6,500 individuals remaining in the wild. Conservation initiatives encompass the establishment of rescue centers and sanctuaries, rehabilitating injured Moon Bears before releasing them into safe environments. Public education campaigns work diligently to raise awareness about the Moon Bear's plight and the imperative to protect its habitat.
