In recent decades, agricultural development and the growth of the human population in South Americas Andes Mountains has severely affected the natural habitat of the Andean Bear (also known as the Spectacled Bear or the Bear with a Marked Forehead), putting it in danger of extinction. It is considered a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and is included in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). It is the only species of bear in South America.
