Russian Bear Cubs: Growing Up Together

Several of my colleagues have just returned from visiting an IFAW funded bear rehabilitation center in Russia. (See previous post on Russian Bears). This is the time of year cubs are brought in to the center when found orphaned in the surrounding forests, either by hunters or government officials. The Pazhetnov Bear Rehabilitation project is dedicated to giving the cubs an isolated and protected chance at survival. The brown bear is endangered in Russia, and extinct in other areas of Europe.

The Animals in Haiti Need Your Support We urgently need your donation to help IFAW's emergency relief teams on the ground in Haiti. Your donation will help us buy the bandages, vaccines, antibiotics and other supplies for our mobile veterinary clinic.

We have partnered with WSPA to mount a coordinated animal relief response, and our team has deployed into the devastated country.


Your donation will go directly into IFAW's Emergency Relief fund, and will be used immediately and where needed most to help the animal victims of Haiti and our Emergency Relief work around the world.
