The team begin to enrich the sanctuary with grasses, trees and pools
In the final days of construction the sanctuaries pools are filled
In October 2010 the Sanctuary was completed, providing needed refuge for bears used in bear baiting

Sohrab takes his first steps into the new Balkasar sanctuary
Sohrab explores some of the enclosure, standing to look at the trees that will provide shade from the hot sun
Sohrab moves on to investigate one of the pools in the enclosure, which also has a natural swamp area
Sohrab, lies down in some of the dense high grass the team added to provide cover for the bears
"It's great that Sohrab and Babu have settled into the new enclosure so well". Dr Jan Schmidt- Burbach
