The Facts THE SLOTH BEAR: (MELURUS URSINUS) The Sloth Bear is listed on Appendix I of CITES (The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora), which prohibits all international trade in these animals, or products and part thereof. In India, the work of Wildlife SOS has put an end to the practice of bear dancing, and there is no longer any left in India. Bear baiting in Pakistan still continues to take place despite a ban on the practice with little hope of effective enforcement at present. The population is unknown, but it is estimated that between 7000 and 10’000 individuals still remain in the wild.  They are found in the dry forests of India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bhutan. It is believed that they have disappeared completely from Bangladesh in the last ten years. They were once the most numerous bear species on the Indian subcontinent. The sloth bear is threatened by habitat loss, and demand for gall bladders and paws. It is often involved in conflicts with human, and can be aggressive and dangerous when surprised. This coupled with damage they can cause to crops, has often led people to kill them in retaliation. The sloth bear has benefited from the existence of natural reserves established to protect other species such as tigers and elephants, but the increase in bear product demand in recent years is having a negative impact on their numbers.

Working with Kalandars BAN on performing animals: Notification of the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment The Wildlife (Protection) Act Powers of Central Government Declaration of Wildlife Stock Rules ... The Recognition of Zoo Rules, 1992 (Central Zoo Authority) Sloth bear trade study In India, sloth bears are protected under various provisions of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, and rules and notifications enacted by the central and state governments. For effective enforcement of the law, which could end the ongoing exploitation of sloth bears, Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) in partnership with the World Society for Protection of Animals (WSPA) is working jointly with various state governments under the Integrated Sloth Bear Conservation and Welfare Project (ISBCW). With this aim, a joint monitoring mechanism with the law enforcement agencies has been planned to check and to control illegal capture of sloth bears in the wild. Studies have been initiated in several states to collect information on sloth bear trade and to identify areas where poaching of sloth bears have been prevalent. Other key objectives are to identify the present distribution range of sloth bears, to help the enforcement agencies in conducting seizures and to strengthen the prosecution against the offenders. Frontline forest guards in National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries will be trained and equipped to tackle wildlife crime.
