Throwing it back to May 2019, when Dasha and her cubs, Coco and Luka, took their first steps back into freedom.
After years trapped in a cramped cage on a riverbank in Yerevan, Dasha was finally rescued by our partners, FPWC. She later emerged from hibernation at their rescue centre with two tiny cubs at her side.
This footage captures a moment that still means so much to us. A mother bear who had endured years of suffering. Two cubs who would never have to know that same life behind bars. And a return to the wild that your support helped make possible.
