Bearing it fine
International Fund for Animal Welfare - Wildlife Trust of India (IFAW-WTI) and the Assam Forest Department have returned to the wild, three orphaned Asiatic black bear cubs after handraising them. The bears were acclimatised to the wild conditions through daily walks in the forest in Manas National Park, following a soft-release protocol called 'assisted release'.
