A Formosan black bear rescued from a snare in April by the Wuling tribal patrol in Taitung was successfully released back into the wild on May 15. After receiving treatment at the WildOne Wildlife Hospital, the bear fully recovered and gained weight. The local tribe named the bear 'Ibi' after the person who first discovered it. The Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency awarded the tribe for their prompt reporting and assistance. The bear has been fitted with a GPS collar for ongoing tracking and conservation efforts.
