MEET THE BEARS OFCHAPARRI REQUE
Another bear to just arrive is an adult male, named Reque, after the river that gives its name to the area where he was found. He had been kept as a pet in a restaurant for three years and was voluntarily given to the project as he had become an adult and was proving difficult to manage. Generally the project does not receive males since they are more problematic within the captive population and are generally less suitable for reintroduction. We decided, however, to receive him because he is a local.
2007 - Latest photos of Reque
In
January 2007, REQUE an
approximately four years old bear, was transferred to Biodiversity Project,
which is a project performed by San Martin University (In the Region that has
the same name) within the conservation context where the first Regional
Conservation Area in Peru is located: Escalera Mountain Range. This
transference was done according to the country in force laws. With the necessary
permits from INRENA, a commission from the university was created. An especial
cage for transportation was made and after an eighteen hours trip the bear
arrived to a designated place where an electric fence was previously built with
the same features used at Chaparri but with a smaller area (5,000 m2,
approximately) REQUE
arrived in perfect conditions and now the bear is used to his new enclosure. Javier
Vallejos a Chaparri Park Ranger travelled with the bear. During 30 days Javier
was training the park rangers who work at Escalera Mountain Range. In order to
know this project; previously, a park ranger from Escalera Mountain Range spent
one week at Chaparri. |
