Bern unveils new Bear Park
Imagining Bern without its bears is difficult for most Bern residents. The tradition of keeping live bears in the city started in 1513 as a sign of man’s domination over the wild. Half a millennium later Bern is trying to tag a different image to this tradition, by building the bears a species-suitable environment in the form of a modern new bear park. Unfortunately it’s cost them CHF 23.6 million, CHF 9 million more than expected. WRS video journalist Amy Wong spent a morning checking out the bears’ new digs.
