A Bear Belongs: A Wildlife Rescue Story

By Catherine Barr

The incredible true story of how three tiny sun bears in Borneo were rescued from poachers, rehabilitated, and released back into the rainforest where they belong.

Southeast Asian rainforests are home to one of the rarest and most endangered bears of all: the sun bear. Sun bears belong deep in the forest, far from humans. But this is the true story of three little bears who were taken from their wild home . . .

Follow Tan-Tan, Boboi, and Kitud from their heartbreaking beginnings as cubs stolen from their natural habitat, through their heroic rescue by conservationists, until at last they are released back into the wild rainforest of Borneo--because that's where a bear belongs.

This captivating nonfiction picture book features insightful fact pages about the amazing flora and fauna of the rainforest and the importance of this incredible ecosystem alongside inspiring information about how to protect endangered sun bears.
