Twenty years ago, Sitesh Ranjan Deb was on a routine hunt for wild pigs in northeastern Bangladesh. He never thought it would change his life forever.

Walking through the forest with his gun, Mr. Deb was tracking crop-destroying wild pigs after

complains from local farmers. But as he advanced towards his target, Mr. Deb stepped on a bear. The bear awoke and attacked him, and its claws tore through his face. Instinctively, he shot the bear and it fell down dead.

“As a result of the bear attack, I lost my right eye, most of my nose and several teeth. My tongue was also tom apart,” he said.

But the near-death experience also changed the hunter forever. “For me it was a new start life. I wanted to do something meaningful. So I decided to use the opportunity to protect wild animals rather than hunt them.” said Mr. Deb.

Villagers today will inform him when any animal or rare bird strays(误入) into their area from the nearby forest. Sometimes they bring injured animals for him to nurse at his rescue center and then, if possible, release back into the wild. In the past 20 years, he has set free thousands of wild animals and birds back into the forest.

Those animals and birds which cannot be released end up staying in his rescue center close to his home. “I can’t set all the animals free -some are too old and others are seriously injured. Besides, the forests around this area are no longer large enough to support them.” he says. “The black bear came to me as a cub(幼崽) and it was raised here. Now, it doesn’t know how to hunt. So it will not get enough food in the forest and it can be easily hunted by poachers(偷猎者).”

The rescue center is home to a bear, a rare albino fishing cat, rock pythons, gibbons, monkeys, spotted deer, vultures and various types of wild birds. The animals are inside cages but are kept in clean conditions and are regularly fed.

Mr. Deb runs the center with his own money and occasional financial help from well-wishers. The mini-zoo also attracts hundreds of local tourists who pay a small entry fee.
