Snow has blanketed the new bear rescue center in Ushi, run by our partners FPWC.
The bears are taking it all in stride, moving sleepily through the snow before returning to their dens to rest. This slower pace is a natural part of their hibernation cycle, helping them conserve energy through the colder months.
After years of confinement, seeing them wander freely through their huge new enclosure is a beautiful reminder of how far they have come.
It is a peaceful winter scene now, but in just a few months the snow will melt, the grass will return, and Ushi will be lush and green once again.
