The rescued sun bear is a cub aged about three to four years, he told the media after the bear s release. It did not sustain any injuries and was not trapped for too long.

Nepal s Flagship National Park Celebrates a Conservation Victory – at What Cost?

Villagers and park staff try to scare a rhinoceros away from crops in Bachhauli village. Photo: Peter Gill On a sunny afternoon in January 2021, a male rhinoceros lumbered through intensively farmed land in Bachhauli, a village outside Chitwan National Park in Nepal’s Terai plains. Eschewing a patch of potatoes, he turned his attention to a field of buckwheat, munching on the bright pink blossoms before plopping himself into an irrigation canal to wallow in the cool, slow-flowing water. Worriedly watching the animal from a safe distance, Ramesh Pathak, a tall farmer with green eyes, used his mobile phone to call a game scout from the park. “He’s back again. When can you come?” Pathak asked. The rhino had grazed on Pathak’s crops several days in a row, and he was desperate for help in chasing the animal away.
