2 Updating Venezuelan Andean bear Action Plan 2 ABSTRACT The aim of this initiative was to re-evaluate the conservation status of the Andean bear in Venezuela and develop a strategy to target conservation actions and research on topics found highest importance for the species long-term survival within the country. Following 1994 Andean bear Action Plan and Andean bear Northern Andes Ecoregional Strategy guidelines, the workshop was held during July 2005 with key actors on Andean Bear conservation and research in Venezuela, using participatory techniques to generate an updated Venezuelan Action Plan and its corresponding development strategy, including a set of indicators to monitor its implementation. Information on new initiatives related to the species was compiled and both institutional and personal commitments were established within a logic time frame. Finally, a comprehensive proceedings will be edited and published for general consultation. INTRODUCTION Andean bear research and conservation efforts were promoted in situ by the pioneer work of Dr. Edgardo Mondolfi (1971) and Dr. Bernard Peyton (1980). During 1980, the Spectacled Bear Specialist Group (SBSG) warned about decreases on population numbers and the lack of knowledge on the species ecology. Across the Andean mountain range initial efforts towards the species conservation were focused on the description of distribution and habitat requirements, together with the evaluation of conservation status and identification of threats. In 1999 the IUCN/SSC Spectacled Bear Action Plan was compiled as part of the Global Bear Action Plan (Servheen, 1999) with specific country chapters describing the species local status, threats, management and conservation actions required, setting clear priorities for future actions. Venezuelan chapter was developed in 1994 by a group of experts supported by FUDENA and highlighted the need of activities to minimize poaching, ensure species viable populations in the wild, increase scientific knowledge and public awareness, and build capacity for managing the captive population. In a parallel process, environmentalist groups, governmental institutions, universities and nongovernmental organizations, among others, promoted the creation, amplification and interconnection of National Parks in the Andes, developed environmental education programs and ethno-zoological studies, and published a wide variety of information related to the species conservation for public distribution (Torres, 2000; Yerena & Torres, 1994; Yerena, 1999). Zoological parks across the world supported these initiatives creating the Spectacled bear Studbook, starting captive breeding programs and funding projects in the field. In Venezuela, the work of PROVITA and Foundation AndígenA, focused mainly on environmental education and developing material for public distribution, promoted Andean bear image from a totally unknown species to a conservation symbol within the country (Torres, 2000). In 1997 the governor of Mérida State decreed the Andean bear as one of the regional conservation symbols, and on 2000 the governor of Lara State created the Integrated Conservation Program for the Andean Bear (Villasmil, 2004). During the 15 th International Conference on Bear Research and Management held in San Diego, California, a meeting of the SSC/IUCN Bear Specialist Group highlighted the need to update the Spectacled Bear Action Plan, action already undertaken by Colombia. Ten years after the development of the Venezuelan Action Plan and a year later than the publication of the Northern Andes Ecoregional Strategy for Andean Bear Conservation by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) (Rodríguez et al., 2004), it is a priority for experts working with the species across the country to update our regional guidelines, making a balance of the accomplishments and to generate an strategy oriented into the next 10 years. This information is needed by wildlife and conservation managers, protected areas agencies, Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, regional governments, and ex situ species managers, zoological parks and education institutions. It will be used to asses the status of the Andean bear population within Venezuela, and to prioritize working areas and subjects to optimize efforts during the following ten years.
3 Updating Venezuelan Andean bear Action Plan 3 PROJECT OBJECTIVES General Objective Update the Venezuelan Andean bear Action Plan, with participation of all key actors to the species research, management and conservation. Specific Objectives Evaluation of activities undertaken on Andean bear research and conservation since 1994, and the effectiveness of the 1994 Action Plan. Development of the II Workshop Andean Bear Conservation Strategy for Venezuela Generate a Venezuelan Andean bear Action Plan Publication of Venezuelan Andean bear Action Plan and Workshop Proceedings for public distribution Establishment of institutional and personal commitments, including the selection of a monitoring committee for follow up. WORKSHOP DEVELOPMENT / RESULTS Planning A coordinator committee was established to set the technical and logistics framework for the development of the meeting. Technical aspects were organized by Universidad Simón Bolívar, Fundación AndígenA, FUDENA, the Andean bear Network (Red Tremarctos) and the University of Cambridge (UK). Logistics coordination was conducted by FUDENA and the sponsorship was provided by the Houston Zoo Inc., WWF Canada, Lafarge and Fundación AndígenA. A series of meetings were carried out during 2005 once each two months prior of the workshop to follow the activities. Development of technical guidelines for the workshop, its content and participations were done by the technical team. Communication A series of electronic communications were sent by and a website was produced for the workshop promotion ( distribution of material for previous review and collaborations request, starting from June 2005 and updated prior to the workshop date. Input information All relevant information on Andean bear was gathered prior to the workshop, in order to identify strengths, lacks and discordance points. Subjects for discussion were prepared and a pre-workshop document list was generated for participants review. Additionally tools for analysis during the workshop were selected as well as databases to facilitate discussion. Workshop A three (3) days workshop was held in Barquisimeto city on July 2005 with participation of specialists, governmental institutions and non-governmental organizations, all key actors to the species research, management and conservation (Fig. 1, Table 1). Five different sessions were held to produce a draft of the updated Action Plan. The first session started with a series of oral and written presentations from all participants, allowing discussion and exchange of experiences (Figs. 2).

Finally, a fifth session was carried out to integrate the results of different working groups in a unique and comprehensive draft of the updated Action Plan. A list of commitments with appropriate time framework was developed in relation to the priorities highlighted, and a monitoring committee was designated by all participants, to make a continuous evaluation and promote plan implementation (Figs 3.). Figs. 3. A Series of Participatory Sessions were Attended During the Workshop.
