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

    An animal caretaker trains a Formosan black bear to open its mouth in order to perform daily checkups, at the government-run bear shelter Wushikeng Research Center in Taichung, Taiwan, May 15, 2024. Since 2014, 18 bears have been captured in traps, with six found dead, according to the non-governmental organisation, the Taiwan Black Bear Conservation Association. While most of the bears were released, some suffered major injuries caused by old-fashioned hunting tools such as metal snares, which can break bones or severe paws or toes as the bear struggles to break free.
