IUCN SSC Bear Specialist Group Of the seven terrestrial species of bears, inhabiting four continents, five are globally threatened and one other has many separate threatened populations. The IUCN SSC Bear Specialist Group (BSG) consists of species and topical experts (structured in teams) committed to promoting the conservation of bears in their natural habitats across their worldwide distribution. We share knowledge and ideas to find the best ways of identifying conservation needs and designing, prioritizing, and evaluating conservation actions.
