Bear bile, extracted from the gallbladders of Asiatic black bears and sun bears, has been used in traditional medicine for centuries across parts of Asia .

For decades , this demand has fueled the illegal wildlife trade, leading to the poaching of wild bears and the operation of bear bile farms.

Study led by San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance researchers sheds light on the social dynamics that drive the continued consumption.

Findings suggest conservation efforts could be more effective if they were to focus on shifting behaviors within influential social groups rather than broad public awareness campaigns.
