INDIA-ENVIRONMENT-WILDLIFE-BEAR-FILES
(FILES) In this photograph taken on February 22, 2012, bears are seen at one of the traditional Chinese medicine company Guizhentang's controversial bear bile farms in Hui'an, southeast China's Fujian province. The populations of the Asiatic black bear, sloth bear, sun bear and Andean bear have suffered a 30-49 percent decline in recent decades and are expected to plunge further, a biologist from the IUCN-SSC Bear Specialist Group (BSG) said at an international bear conference held in New Delhi. The Asiatic bear population has also plummeted in the last three decades, due to excessive poaching to meet the surging demand for the bile found in the bear's gall bladder, an ingredient used in Chinese traditional medicine.
