Today, we will talk about an Indian Sloth Bear. I will share some facts with you all based on my own personal observations.
Sloth Bears are found in most parts of India, but they are especially distributed from southwestern Rajasthan, through central India, and down to southern India. In Rajasthan, their estimated population is around 1,200, which has seen a significant increase over the last 5-6 years. Similarly, in Madhya Pradesh, there are approximately 1,000 Sloth Bears, while in Chhattisgarh a state that is often considered backward in terms of wildlife conservation there are 600-700 bears roaming the forests. Maharashtra has safely protected around 900 Sloth Bears in its jungles. Karnataka also has about 600 of these bears in its forests.
Now, coming to the main topic: In Rajasthan, Sloth Bears are mainly found from the southeast to the southwest and in some central parts. These bears are commonly seen in both wild and rural areas. Their presence in the Aravalli range is largely limited to the stretch from Mount Abu (Sirohi) to Phulwari Ki Nal, Kumbhalgarh, Ramgarh, Mukundara, and Ranthambore. There are also some scattered populations in other smaller forests. Near my city, there are about 5 bears. However, their numbers are zero in Jhalana, Jamwa Ramgarh, and Sariska. Why is this so?
There could be several reasons for this, including poaching as an important factor, but the issue here is something more. For the last three decades, the presence of bears in these areas has been negligible. The main reasons are the
1.severe shortage of seasonal fruits and berries for food in these forests, along with a
2.significant highly shortage of termite and ant species.
3.Additionally, human influence in this jungle has reached its peak, which is risky for them. These bears prefer scrublands, and there is a severe shortage of that here as well.
It is not that the Forest Department has not tried to reintroduce bears here. Recently, in 2023, the 👉(major reason) department released 3 bears from Sudha Mata Sanctuary in Jalore and Mount Abu Sanctuary in Sirohi into Sariska after fitting them with radio collars. Immediately after release, all three bears removed their radio collars from their necks. After that, one bear died, another wandered about 200 kilometers away near Dausa and was killed there, and there is no record of the last bear with the Forest Department. You can understand what must have happened to it.
When they released the bears in Sariska, (I had already said that bears accustomed to human habitats should not be released here. )Bears from Ranthambore or Mukundara should have been brought instead. This is because bears from Mount Abu and Sudha Mata often roam around human settlements. They have become more accustomed to a parasitic lifestyle and have forgotten their basic survival skills.
Anyway, another new attempt is planned by the end of this year. I hope these animals will become abundant in Sariska as well and mark their paw prints in many places. #slothbear #sariskatigerreserve #bearrelocation #wildlifeawareness #slothbearfood

“Beyond Tigers: The Forgotten Crisis of Sloth Bear Conservation in India”
We always enthusiastically participate in discussions about tigers because jungle tourism in India largely revolves around tigers. However, today I want to talk about a serious issue.
Have we ever discussed the conservation of sloth bears? Most people’s answer would be “no,” because we tend to bundle sloth bear conservation with tiger conservation, which is not right. After all, tigers are not found everywhere.
In India, there are only a few dedicated sloth bear sanctuaries. In Rajasthan itself, there are two: one is the Mount Abu Bear Sanctuary, and on the other side of those hills, there is another sanctuary that protects around 200 sloth bears.
The issue here is that these animals are omnivorous, but they primarily prefer a vegetarian diet. Today, you can easily spot these bears in Mount Abu during any time of the day, coming out of the forest into residential areas or near temples in search of easy food. In many cases, groups of these bears can be seen rummaging through garbage dumps for food items — behaviour that is completely contrary to their natural solitary lifestyle.
We humans have destroyed their natural habitat and have indirectly turned them into dependents (almost parasites), because they now know exactly where easy food is available. The new generation of sloth bears observes their mothers’ activities and adopts the same methods as their primary strategy for obtaining food.
In Chhattisgarh’s Mahasamund district, there is a temple where people come less for the darshan (worship) of God and more to watch the “show” of feeding bears biscuits and food offered in the name of Baba. I call it a “show” because the forest department staff are well aware of it but still allow it to happen.
Moreover, after leopards, sloth bears are the animals most frequently killed in road accidents in India.
These animals urgently need a structured and concrete conservation effort — one that they truly deserve but have not yet received. #slothbear #bear

In many ways, his thoughts on sloth and idolatry ought to speak to the conscience.
On the desire for marriage, it ought also [to] speak to young Christian men who without (even) the application of christianese, have been deceived into desiring success, first, to "enjoy life,"
"It does us no good for older women to do contrary to what God gives them jurisdiction."
"The current iteration of evangelicalism does not know how to deal with desire. Especially with all this talk about idolatry making the rounds."

India has 4 bear species, all Schedule I protected under the Wildlife (Protection) Act:
• Sloth Bear: widespread in central/southern deciduous forests (est. 6,000–11,000 )
• Asiatic Black Bear: Himalayas & Northeast (est. 7,000–9,000)
• Himalayan Brown Bear: high Himalayas (est. 500–700)
• Sun Bear: very rare in Northeast
State Forest Departments (under MoEFCC) protect them via Protected Areas, anti-poaching patrols, rescue/relocation of conflict or orphaned bears, rehab partnerships (e.g. Wildlife SOS, WTI), human-bear conflict guidelines, and habitat conservation. Numbers come from estimates & localised studies (camera traps etc.). Focus is on coexistence amid habitat & conflict pressures.

熊の駆除ではなく奥山を再生して熊を山へ帰す。そういうことに税金を使ってもらいたい。 そう思いませんか。 奥山再生、熊を山へ帰す。声をあげませんか。SNSで発信しませんか。 一人一人は微力でも、合わされば大きな声になる！力になる！ 拡散願います。 #熊を守ろう
