Nastia, a six-month-old female bear cub, in a private zoo in Haisyn, Vinnitsya region, about 250km south of Kiev. Nastia was rescued by Ukrainian authorities and the Four Paws Animal Welfare Foundation from the private zoo because they thought there might be a risk of her being sold for circus or tourist entertainment. Nastia and her mother will be transferred from their temporary home at Lutsk Zoopark to a brown bear sanctuary in Ukraine. In 2011, Ukrains environment minister announced a ban on the poor private captivity of brown bears. Photograph: Mihai Vasile/Four Paws/Reuters
