About Idaho Black Bear Rehab, Inc.
"IBBR was started in 1989 with the arrival of the first orphaned bear cub. The field of black bear rehabilitation for release back to the wild was previously thought to be impossible. The only options for orphaned cubs were permanent captivity resulting in loss of their freedom or death. With a proven success rate, IBBR accepts cubs into the program each year from Idaho and surrounding western states for release back to the wild.It is crucial to construct another enclosure to save more cubs from death or permanent captivity. It will be built with funds from the generous grant supplied by Pepsi and from volunteer labor.
Included will be an education center for groups, schools, wildlife rehabilitators, and other state wildlife agencies showing we can rehab and successfully release cubs. The center will help people understand the intrinsic value of wildlife and through this, the value of an intact ecosystem. "
IBBR does not receive funding from Fish & Game or any government agency. Some annual funds and support come for example from the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA), but as more bears were brought into the rehab program during the last years the financial demands increased. During 2004 forty-two (42) bears could be saved. In 2007 IBBR saved fifty-three bears, thirty-two of those bears remained with IBBR until their release one year later.
Founder, Sally Maughan works a full time job to ensure no orphaned cubs are turned away.
Beside voting for IBBR in the Pepsi Contest you can help by monetary contributions which are desperately needed and greatly appreciated in helping IBBR to save orphaned cubs each year.

It's so great that you added this information. I've been voting for them every day. I didn't know about this organization until you began doing posts about it. Now I'm very, very interested in the work they do.
AntwortenLöschenYes, Dostoy, they are doing a very good work. They have never had big budgets and it is quite impressive r what they have already been able to accomplish with the small budgets they had during all the years. i hope they can make it!
