        "content": "<p>Lubuk Basung (ANTARA) - The West Sumatra Natural Resources\nConservation Agency (BKSDA) evacuated a sun bear caught in a rope snare\nintended for wild boars near a resident\u2019s plantation in Botan, Nagari\nPanti Timur, Panti District, Pasaman Regency, on Friday. Head of the\nPasaman Region I Conservation Resort, Edi Susilo, stated in Lubuk Basung\nthat the evacuation involved BKSDA officers, the Centre for Orangutan\nProtection (COP), and a veterinarian from the Pasaman Agriculture\nOffice. \u201cThe bear was sedated before the evacuation was carried out,\u201d he\nsaid. Observations revealed the bear was an adult female with snare\nwounds on its leg. The joint team then carried the sun bear on a\nstretcher to the conservation post at the Rimbo Panti Nature Tourism\nPark (TWA). \u201cUpon arrival at TWA Rimbo Panti, the bear received\ntreatment from the veterinarian,\u201d he added. This incident follows the\nrecent case of a female Sumatran tiger cub caught in a \u2018rattus Pasaman\u2019\ntype wire snare in a resident\u2019s garden in Jorong Lima Sempadang, Nagari\nPadang Matinggi Utara, Rao Utara District, Pasaman, on Thursday (21\/5).\nThe tiger, aged under one year, sustained injuries to its neck and leg.\nIn response, BKSDA West Sumatra issued Circular Letter Number 1 of 2026\nprohibiting the use of Rattus Pasaman snares, dangerous sling traps, or\nsteel wire for controlling wild boar pests. The circular aims to protect\nbiodiversity and prevent the death of protected wildlife, particularly\nSumatran tigers, sun bears, and other animals, due to hazardous snares.\n\u201cWe will intensively disseminate this circular to the community through\nnagari or village governments to prevent protected wildlife from being\ncaught in snares again,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
