The American Bear Foundation, a dedicated all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit, champions the safeguarding and advancement of bears, their habitat, and bear hunting across the United States. Founded in response to a need for bear hunter support and a growing grizzly bear population, the ABF strives to deepen our understanding of black bears and their coexistence with larger predators. By fostering youth involvement in bear hunting, collaborating with government bodies, and promoting sustainable hunting practices, the organization envisions a future where hunting heritage thrives and bear populations harmoniously coexist.
