About two years ago, the bears were relocated by the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources to temporary shelter.
A restaurant in Azerbaijan had kept them in a cage to attract customers.
In 2024, Wildheart Animal Sanctuary started a fundraising campaign to pay for the bears transport and brand new home. Nearly 拢218,000 was raised.
Their space measures 3,500sqm (11,483 sqft) is in-keeping with their natural environment.
Before their release, they were kept in a holding pen while they got used to their new environment.
