Help Idaho Black Bear Rehab save more orphaned or injured bear cubs Idaho Black Bear Rehab, Inc.

IBBR was started in 1989 with the arrival of the first orphaned bear cub. The field of black bear rehabilitation for release back to the wild was previously thought to be impossible. The only options for orphaned cubs were permanent captivity resulting in loss of their freedom or death.With a proven success rate, IBBR accepts cubs into the program each year from Idaho and surrounding western states for release back to the wild.

It is crucial to construct another enclosure to save more cubs from death or permanent captivity. It will be built with funds from the generous grant supplied by Pepsi and from volunteer labor.

Included will be an education center for groups, schools, wildlife rehabilitators, and other state wildlife agencies showing we can rehab and successfully release cubs. The center will help people understand the intrinsic value of wildlife and through this, the value of an intact ecosystem.
