Eric Bear: Championing Sustainable Travel and Wildlife Conservation

In the world of sustainable travel and wildlife conservation, Eric Bear stands out as a model steward. With a deep commitment to conserving our planet’s most precious ecosystems, Eric’s efforts have touched lives, protected landscapes, and inspired a new generation of environmentally conscious travellers

A Passion for Conservation

Eric Bear’s journey began with a profound love for nature and a desire to protect the diverse species that call it home. Working as a junior naturalist in his youth, Eric felt from a young age that humans were neither different from nor separate from other animals. His academic background in psychology and work as an actor in film & TV — embodying people and other primates — deepened that feeling into a lifelong commitment to protecting wildlife and enabling innovative solutions that address the myriad challenges faced by endangered species.

One of Eric’s significant contributions to wildlife conservation is his involvement with Born Free USA, where he and his family support efforts to enhance the lives of monkeys rescued from zoos, labs and other abusive circumstances. This groundbreaking work has resulted in a new lease on life for hundreds of unique primate personalities, demonstrating that meaningful change is possible.

Bridging Communities and Conservation

A firm believer in the power of community, Eric Bear has made it his mission to ensure that conservation efforts benefit both wildlife and local populations. He and his partner created a private foundation dedicated to supporting programs that provide education and natural resources for sustainable livelihoods, all while promoting environmental stewardship.

As an entrepreneur and actor on a spiritual path to everyday awake awareness, Eric discovered on safari that ‘home’ is a feeling that can be experienced anywhere in the world. He explains that “we bring it with us wherever we go, and our interactions with nature and other beings can welcome that warmth into everyone’s bodies” — creating a win-win situation for diverse peoples and the planet, itself.
