These bears are captured from the wild and subjected to cruel conditions in bear bile farms, where their bile is extracted for use in traditional medicine. Additionally, deforestation and human encroachment into their natural habitats have led to a significant decline in moon bear populations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, moon bears are also exploited for entertainment purposes, often being kept in tiny cages and forced to perform in circuses or bear baiting events. These inhumane practices have taken a severe toll on moon bear populations, pushing them to the brink of extinction.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Being_Done_to_Help_Moon_Bears\"><\/span>What is Being Done to Help Moon Bears?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, there are numerous organizations and initiatives dedicated to the conservation and protection of moon bears.
