Many rescued bears arrive malnourished after years held captive without a natural diet. We provide a vet-developed mix of fresh vegetables, fruit, pulses and more to help them recover.

An adult bear can eat up to 42kg of food each week — and with lifespans of 30–40 years, that’s a lot of vegies!

Bears are extremely intelligent. To keep their complex minds stimulated and exercise their natural foraging behaviours, we provide different daily enrichment activities.

From puzzle feeders to treat balls, enrichment keeps their minds active. But, nothing lasts long around a bear and they regularly need replacement.

To make up for the suffering rescued bears endured, we provide the most natural life possible. We have large forest habitats with pools for swimming, platforms and trees to climb and nest, and custom-built dens and caves for well-deserved naps. There's always expansion to be done, providing refuge to more bears in need.

Many rescued bears arrive needing urgent, ongoing medical care – from cubs requiring round-the-clock feeds to bears suffering from disease or snare injuries. Our vet team works tirelessly to give each bear the best recovery.

We’ve also helped develop surgical techniques to reduce trauma, speed up healing, and even restore sight.

We’re working to protect bears in the wild through research, field studies, and community programmes that help us better understand their behaviour, health and habitats.

By combining science with on-the-ground conservation, we can prevent bears from entering the trade and secure a future for them in the wild.

We’re tackling wildlife crime by partnering with law enforcement and providing training in emergency wildlife care, enabling rapid rescues, and helping stop the illegal trade that continues to put bears at risk. We also continue our fight to end bear bile farming.

By building local capacity, we can not only rescue bears, but prevent them being taken from the wild.
