I have a proposal for the Ecuadorean Government:
Grant us stewardship of all the Aurelian concessions. We will mine FDN and any companion deposits within a defined range, with the rest of the concessions to be established as a protected area for Spectacled Bears. As part of this agreement we will arrange for wardens to patrol the area and stop all hunting and logging, plus establish a rehabilitation center for orphaned and injured bears from other areas.
If this initiative is undertaken, I personally pledge to lobby the Canadian Government and private organizations for additional support and funding.
Save the Spectacled Bear!
