The pair of Himalayan brown bears at Islamabad zoo will be shifted to Jordan and not moved to the Ayubia National Park.
The decision was announced by the Islamabad High Court on Monday.
Babloo and Suzie will be shifted to Jordan, the lawyer of the Islamabad Wildlife Management Board told the court. “They won’t be kept in Pakistan till the country gets a decent sanctuary.”

The Islamabad High Court was irked on Thursday due to the delay in the transfer of two Himalayan bears to a sanctuary in Jordan.
The two bears, Suzie and Babloo, were to be moved to the Al Ma’wa animal sanctuary in Jordan but the zoo authorities impeded the December 6 transfer.
Four Paws had also stated that it was surprised on the sudden cancellation of export permit. Did you read the court orders?
During the hearing, IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah questioned if the Islamabad Wildlife Management Board had reviewed the court order before stopping the transfer.
