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

    Pan Wen-Ming (right), 51, an ethnic Amis hunter and guava farmer, and Chen Han-Sheng, 30, wildlife conservationist check footage on camera traps in Taichung, Taiwan July 12, 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. "Because of its small size, and because the bear's palm is very wide, you see that it (the bear paw) will not fall in completely when stepped on like this," explained Pan Wen-ming. "It tries to minimise (bear injuries) while letting the elders and hunters of our tribe still hunt for prey." REUTERS/Ann Wang

    ABOUT QUEWS

    We are a news service born out of a global loss of confidence in media and destabilising polarisation of attitudes. We believe it is possible, indeed necessary, to create a public forum where vital issues of the day are discussed, debated, analysed and circulated.
