W7|Final project: Advance written presentation

Hello, I hope you are well.

We invite you to read this
PDF which is our planning for
our final project where we
will talk about one of our
animals that is in danger of
extinction in Peru.

IDEAS ACTIVITIES

Presentation of the participants and the
topic we are going to discuss:
History
Participants will introduce themselves and talk about the topic to
be discussed and the purpose or objective they have.
The spectacled bear is directly descended from the now extinct
Arctodus simus, which was the top predator in North and South
America during the last ice age (The bear den, 1997).
Furthermore, the spectacled bear is the only bear in the genus
Tremarctos to have survived to modern times (Delena, 1997).
The Andean or spectacled bear is endemic to the tropical Andes
and is the only bear species existing in South America.

What does the name mean? It comes from the Greek Tremarctos (Trema "Hole" and arktos
"Bear") and from the Latin Ornatus (Ornament). His name
"Spectacled Bear" comes from the spots around his eyes, making
it look like he's wearing glasses.

Time of life Unlike other bear species, with the exception of the panda, the
Andean bear feeds primarily on a herbivorous diet and has a life
expectancy of 35 years.
BECAUSE THE SPECTACLED BEAR IS IN This bear is constantly threatened due to changes in land use,
which have fragmented its original habitat, as well as hunting by
DANGER OF EXTINCTION: humans who come into conflict with it, or use parts of its body for
medicine and food. traditional rituals.

What are the main threats of the The loss of their natural habitat has forced them, in many cases, to
move to places inhabited by humans. This is one of the main
spectacled bear? threats, since they are killed for destroying corn crops and for
killing domestic animals (cattle and cattle).

Characteristics What most characterizes this species is the presence of white or

yellowish spots around the eyes. The most common coat color is
black, although there are brown and much less occasional reddish
specimens.
Its head is large in relation to the rest of its body, it has a powerful
jaw, the skull has two important masseter fossae, its body
measures between 1.8 m but nowadays it is more frequent to find
specimens of 1.5 m
The weight of these specimens is around 140 kg, their claws are
very sharp and perfectly adapted for climbing trees,
They are solitary habits and mostly diurnal. It establishes itself on
trails that allow it to move quickly between remote areas by
marking it with scent scratches (pheromones), it usually
establishes platforms in the topless trees to feed or rest.
 After the panda, it is the second most vegetarian bear. It feeds on páramo
What do they feed on? bromeliads, achupallas and various wild fruits, including the aguacatillo and
the mortiño. Being bears and their diet is vegetarian, in addition to weighing
100 kilos, they need to satisfy their nutritional needs (plants and fruits) and
the forest is not always productive, so the bear must travel many distances
to feed itself. It is estimated that a bear needs more than 1,000 hectares a
year of mature forest to survive.

It is the only species of bear in all of South America. Its most prominent
where they live? characteristic is the presence of white or yellowish spots around the eyes.
It is found in America Bolivia Colombia Peru Venezuela
Spectacled bears live in a wide variety of ecosystems located throughout the
tropical Andes. They can live at a height of up to 4,750 meters above sea
level and do not usually go below 200 meters. The wide variety of habitats
includes dry tropical forests, moist lowlands, moist tropical forests, dry and
moist scrub, and high-elevation grasslands.
The identification of 100% of the areas with the presence of viable
PREVENTION populations of the also called spectacled bear is proposed. Also, look to find
three conservation corridors.
The commitment of citizens in rural areas will also be essential. For this, it
will seek to raise awareness about the importance of preserving the species.
Try to ensure that deforestation and expansion of economic activities in their
habitat areas are not abused by this species and others
Good morning, I'm Dayson and today with my colleagues Hector and Luis we will talk about something important, but first,
thank you for giving us a little of your time to inform them about an animal that is in danger of extinction in our Peru. Our
purpose is to raise awareness and help us in this fight to protect the spectacled bear.
