How to Raise a Wild Bear. To the 85th anniversary of V.S.Pazhetnov, ecologist, zoologist, and writer

Poachers, and sometimes people with no respect to the rules of in-a-den hunting, kill a female bear and doom her offspring to death. Practically the best fortune to such cubs is to occur in a circus or a zoo. Is it possible to help orphaned cubs? How to raise a wild bear and to return it to the wild? These questions have long worried zoologists, including V.S.Pazhetnov, who devoted his life to study the behavior and biology of brown bears. This experience allowed him to develop a unique method of raising and rearing bear cubs and to create Orphan Bear Rescue Centre that rehabilitates and reintroduces orphaned brown bear cubs in order to restore their population within the range. Valentin Sergeevich Pazhetnov recently passed away, but his numerous followers, including his wonderful family, are with us.
