IBA aims to understand the world’s 8 bear species through scientific research and collaboration with communities, conservationists, managers, researchers, and students across the globe.
The IBA Research and Conservation Grants are designed to support bear conservation and education projects, focusing on research. They prioritize projects with significant positive impacts on bear species, populations, and high-need conservation areas. Funding is provided by The John Sheldon Bevins Memorial Foundation and additional generous donors.
