Today’s inspiring story showcases the successful rehabilitation and upcoming release of Asiatic black bear cubs, Kala and Kalee, who were rescued and brought to the Centre for Bear Rehabilitation and Conservation
The cubs were taken to the Centre for Bear Rehabilitation and Conservation (CBRC), a facility created by IFAW-WTI to help orphaned black Asian bears receive specialized care needed to be released back into the wild.
They were brought to the Centre for Bear Rehabilitation and Conservation (CBRC) for specialized care.
Along with three other cubs, they have taken a significant step towards being released back into the wild. They learn vital survival skills, such as foraging, swimming, and tree-climbing, and conducts routine medical checks.
After months of rehabilitation, they were translocated to a pre-release site in the Pakke Tiger Reserve, where they will be taken on daily walks to learn about their new environment and how to forage on their own. As they become more proficient, they will return to their enclosure less frequently until they can live independently as wild bears.
