Fundación Oso de Asturias is a non-profit foundation founded in 1992 in Spain's Asturias region. It works to conserve the Cantabrian brown bear and its habitat. It runs enclosures at Santo Adriano that house the two captive Cantabrian brown bears and rehabilitates orphaned, injured or problem bears for later release into the Cordillera Cantábrica. It also conducts scientific research on the species, runs awareness and environmental education activities, and coordinated the UrsusCare project to build a European cooperation network on brown bear rehabilitation with partners in Greece and Romania.
