About Eight Bears Forever
- Our Roots: Our journey into bear conservation advocacy began in 2007, fueled by a passion to protect the world's wild bear species.
- Establishment: To formalize our commitment to these animals, we officially founded Eight Bears Forever in 2011.
- Our Team: This is a collaborative effort led by me, Abel Saenz, alongside my daughter, Mia, who contributes her talents as an illustrator for our projects.
- Our Mission: We are dedicated to providing public awareness and advocacy for the survival of the world's eight wild bear species. We strive to educate the public through our platforms, including our advocacy blog.
- Taking Action: Beyond education, we actively support conservation efforts, such as our recent July 2026 fundraiser for the North American Bear Center. We are currently organizing and designing campaigns to make a lasting impact for the upcoming International Save Bears Day on February 21, 2027.
Our Vision
At Eight Bears Forever, we believe that advocacy is the bridge between extinction and survival. By combining educational outreach with creative engagement—including our apparel designs at Cool Bear Stuff—we aim to foster a global community that stands united for the protection of all eight bear species.
