Formosan black bears are endemic to Taiwan and have been legally protected since 1989, when they were declared an endangered species. However, illegal hunting and poaching continues and their numbers have been declining. Furthermore, reported bear sightings are very infrequent and no one knows exactly how many bears still exist. One of the people who tries to mend both these issues is Professor Mei-show Huang, who is the only researcher ever to study the Taiwan Black Bear deep in the forest that is more than 50 km away from the civilization. Since 2008, the experienced mountaineer/director Chueh-Ming Mai leads his team to document her and her crew’s activities. His efforts have led to this particular documentary.
