    The Wider Image: Hunters, conservationists join forces to protect Formosan

    Pihao Payen (R), 74, the leader of an ethnic Atayal community, prays to his ancestors as he performs a blessing ceremony upon the release of Ziman, a one-and-a-half-year-old rescued Formosan black bear in Taichung, Taiwan, May 16, 2024. Taiwanese hunters and conservationists are teaming up to protect the Formosan black bear, with only a few hundred estimated still in the wild, by designing new traps which will not amputate limbs if they are accidentally caught in a snare. "Please take care of him and help him find his parents safely," said Pihao Payen. REUTERS/Ann Wang
