This case demonstrates that when we act in a timely manner, we can save lives. 'Thanks to Arturo Islas for being part of this story and to Glen Villarreal for keeping an eye on things,' the official expressed. Released with a satellite collar Before opening the safety enclosure, specialists conducted final medical studies on Tadeo to confirm his optimal condition and placed a satellite collar on him, a tool that will allow monitoring his behavior and displacement in the wild. During the release, auditory stimuli were used to induce his return to the natural environment, seeking to reinforce his instinct to stay away from human settlements. The bear Tadeo has already recovered and was released in its natural habitat. The Secretary General of Government indicated that this case is an example of the need to strengthen the culture of wildlife protection and citizen collaboration. Flores made a call to the population not to approach wild animals and to report any sightings in a timely manner. 'Timely notice can make the difference. What is achieved when there is coordination and commitment is precisely this: a second chance at life. Protecting our fauna also speaks to the kind of society we want to build,' he added. After a rescue and recovery process that lasted for almost eight months, the black bear known as Tadeo was successfully released in the mountainous area of Nuevo León. The specimen, which went from being on the brink of death to recovering full health, was reintegrated into its environment in an operation led by the Secretary General of Government, Miguel Ángel Flores, along with environmental authorities and specialists. Tadeo was located in the rural area of the municipality of Galeana in critical conditions, with severe infections and a fracture in one of his hind legs that threatened his survival. Due to the severity of the case, comprehensive rehabilitation protocols were activated in which institutions such as Bioparque Estrella, the Faculty of Biological Sciences of the UANL, Parks and Wildlife of Nuevo León, the state Secretariat of the Environment, Profepa, as well as activist Arturo Islas and deputy Glen Villarreal collaborated. Flores highlighted that it was important the sum of wills to achieve this outcome. 'After finding him in a very critical state, today we were able to return him to his habitat.'
