      Sloth Bears have been a part of our rich mythological history. However, sadly, they have also been a part of economic practices - sloth bears have been used by 'Kalandars' as Dancing bears and have been the source of income for their generations.

    “Wildlife SOS India proposed to the IUCN that 12th October be declared as World Sloth Bear Day to draw attention to the conservation and protection of the unique bear species.
