I don\u2019t know which one was Soni (Emil)\u2026 but I know they were there, happy.<br \/>I saw an extraordinary place. I saw happy bears. I saw cubs bathing under their mother\u2019s watchful eye. I saw another mother teaching her cubs to walk neatly in a line along a log. I saw bears running. I gladly followed their rules\u2026 in their forest.<br \/>It was a privilege to watch them in silence and to share in their joy. From now on, the memory of them will stay with me fondly for a long time.<br \/>Well done to the wonderful people who made their rescue possible. A place I highly recommend to animal lovers.

Kind-hearted people are doing their best to help bears that have suffered at the hands of humans, and they do it wholeheartedly. Every one of us can contribute, however little, to this wonderful project. Wishing all nature and bear lovers a wonderful day!   <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-testimonial__cite\"><span class=\"elementor-testimonial__name\">(<b>Cristian Ioni\u021b\u0103<\/b>, Google)<\/span><\/cite>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A place where these poor animals - tormented for years in cages that were too small or in concrete enclosures, some without enough food - have finally found a home where they can live a good life. Some still carry the trauma of the abuse they endured. There are now over 100 bears at the sanctuary. Visit the sanctuary\u2019s website to discover their stories, opening hours, and more information about its work. Congratulations to everyone working tirelessly to maintain the sanctuary and rescue all bears still being kept in poor conditions.    <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-testimonial__cite\"><span class=\"elementor-testimonial__name\">(<b>Dinu Veronica<\/b>, Facebook)<\/span><\/cite>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-prev\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Previous\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-eicon-chevron-left\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 1000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M646 125C629 125 613 133 604 142L308 442C296 454 292 471 292 487 292 504 296 521 308 533L604 854C617 867 629 875 646 875 663 875 679 871 692 858 704 846 713 829 713 812 713 796 708 779 692 767L438 487 692 225C700 217 708 204 708 187 708 171 704 154 692 142 675 129 663 125 646 125Z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-next\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Next\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-eicon-chevron-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 1000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M696 533C708 521 713 504 713 487 713 471 708 454 696 446L400 146C388 133 375 125 354 125 338 125 325 129 313 142 300 154 292 171 292 187 292 204 296 221 308 233L563 492 304 771C292 783 288 800 288 817 288 833 296 850 308 863 321 871 338 875 354 875 371 875 388 867 400 854L696 533Z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0fc2e5d e-con-full gap-2 flex-v-center e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"0fc2e5d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 \n\t\tdata-interaction-id=\"b5bd12b\" \n\t\tclass=\"title-main col-light-beige e-b5bd12b-07115d8 e-heading-base\" \n\t\t \n\t\tdata-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"b5bd12b\"\n\t>\n\t\n\t\t\tCome and meet us\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"text-center text-block col-light-beige e-0f62139-f6eebd3 e-paragraph-base\" data-interaction-id=\"0f62139\"  data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"0f62139\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe best way to understand what we do is to come and see it for yourself.<br> But be prepared - many people leave here changed.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-00928f4 e-con e-atomic-element e-flexbox-base pad-0 gap-2 e-00928f4-d709be5 margin-v-2 flex-h\" data-id=\"00928f4\" data-element_type=\"e-flexbox\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-interaction-id=\"00928f4\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-id=\"00928f4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t    \t            <a\n            href=\"https:\/\/millionsoffriends.org\/en\/amp-libearty\/plan-your-visit\/\" target=\"_self\"\n            class=\"btn-main bg-light-beige col-green e-button-base\"\n            data-interaction-id=\"b71dd13\"\n             data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"b71dd13\"\n        >\n            Plan your visit\n        <\/a>\n    \t\t\t\t\t    \t            <a\n            href=\"https:\/\/millionsoffriends.org\/en\/amp-libearty\/visit-the-sanctuary\/#tururi\" target=\"_self\"\n            class=\"btn-main b-col-light-beige bg-col-transparent e-dc12ced-b84a43f e-button-base\"\n            data-interaction-id=\"dc12ced\"\n             data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"dc12ced\"\n        >\n            See the available tour options\n        <\/a>\n    \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The largest brown bear sanctuary in the world 69 hectares of forest.
