PROTECTING FLORIDA'S BLACK BEARS
​

Advocacy. Education. Wildlife Protection.
 

Bear Defenders is dedicated to protecting Florida's black bears through public education, advocacy, and field investigations.
 

Our work focuses on raising awareness about the challenges facing black bears, documenting wildlife-related activities, and advocating for responsible wildlife management and stronger protections.
 

We believe that informed communities, credible documentation, and public involvement are essential to protecting Florida's wildlife for future generations.

“Let us remember that animals are not mere resources for human consumption. They are splendid beings in their own right, who have evolved alongside us as co-inheritors of all the beauty and abundance of life on this planet”
