Bear Sanctuary Domazhyr, Bear conservation center in Lviv Oblast, Ukraine.
Description
Bear Sanctuary Domazhyr is a protection center in Lviv Oblast that houses rescued brown bears in expansive outdoor enclosures and rehabilitation areas. The facility provides natural habitats with forests, streams, and open spaces where the animals can move freely and recover.
History
The sanctuary was founded in 2013 to help brown bears rescued from illegal fighting rings and hunting stations. The initiative emerged as a response to widespread animal abuse in the region.
Culture
Educational guided tours at the sanctuary inform visitors about Ukrainian wildlife protection efforts and the importance of creating safe environments for rescued animals.
