URSA FREEDOM PROJECT - SAVING BEAR SPECIES FROM EXTINCTION

Ursa Freedom Project has expanded to include all 8 bear species!

Ursa Freedom Project is an independent project driven by an online network of people who are passionate about bears.

UFP Mission
Ursa Freedom Project uses the power of story and the arts to raise awareness about the plight of the world’s eight bear species and assist on-the-ground conservation efforts in local communities.

UFP Focus
Six of the world’s eight bear species are threatened with extinction as a result of human activities. Even "least concern" species such as the brown bear are at risk of extirpation in certain countries. Many threats face each bear species, making strategies for local conservation necessary. UFP assists organizations and individuals in local communities who are working to conserve bears and their habitat through science-based and ethics-based programs.

UFP Strategy
We enfold bears into story so their voice is heard and validated -- an act that allows bears to be received into culture and their lives transformed through acceptance. UFP advocates to conserve bears and their habitat and bring freedom of persecution and exploitation to bears by unleashing the power of knowledge and collective visualization to open hearts to understanding, wisdom, compassion and tolerance.

Comment by Jeanette McDermott on March 15, 2010 at 12:16pm: I am uniting artists, photographers, poets and essayists for an anthology to raise awareness about the need to protect and conserve bears. Let me know if you are interested in participating in the creation of the first anthology for bears. And please help me spread the word by telling others about my plans to create the anthology. I'm looking for contributors.
