The fictional children's character Paddington Bear has featured in more than 20 books. Paddington was an Andean bear from Peru who arrived at the London railway station with a note asking for someone to look after him. In the story Paddington was then adopted and looked after by a British family.

But life for the real Andean bears isn't always as fortunate. Carmen Roberts went to visit a bear sanctuary in Chaparri, Peru. The sanctuary tries to rehabilitate rescued bears who have been captured illegally and kept as pets or made to perform in circuses.
