Sebastian Di Domenico, Colombia, Shortlist, Latin America Professional Award, Sony World Photography Awards 2026 The Andean bear is the only bear species in South America and is listed as ?Vulnerable? on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. In Colombia, the largest population of the species can be found just two hours? drive from Bogota, close to Chingaza National Park. While these curious animals are more herbivorous than many other bear species, they will occasionally kill cattle which attracts more bears into the area and increasingly puts them in contact with locals and visitors. Tourism initiatives and education might hold the key to ensuring a safe future for one of the most important Andean bear populations in Colombia.
