Bernd Nonnenmacher
Bernd Nonnenmacher is an animal welfare advocate and the caretaker of a wildlife sanctuary in the Schwarzwald, Germany. He is dedicated to rehabilitating animals who have suffered at the hands of humans, providing them with a safe environment to recover and live out their lives. His recent efforts have included the relocation of JJ4, a bear that was involved in a tragic incident in Italy, as he believes in giving these animals a second chance despite the complexities of their pasts.
