Thank you for helping threatened bears
THE LARGEST BEAR SANCTUARY NETWORK IN SOUTHEAST ASIA
We care for more than 300 rescued bears across Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. Because of their past trauma, most will need specialised care and a safe, stable home for up to 30 years.
We’re rescuing more bears every year — and it’s only through your support that we can continue to say yes when a bear is in need.
We’re also working to stop bears being taken from the wild in the first place. The future of bears depends not only on those we rescue, but on protecting the forests where they belong.
Together, we can create a future where bears are free from exploitation and thriving in the wild.

Where your donation goes

Nutritious food
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! -
Enrichment
Bears are extremely intelligent. To keep their complex minds stimulated and exercise thei 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. -
Space to roam
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.

Veterinary care
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. -
Protecting wild bears
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. -
Combatting wildlife crime
We’re tackling wildlife crime by law enforcement, enabling rapid rescues, and helping stop the illegal trade that continues to put bears at risk. We also continue our fight to end the horrific practice of bear bile farming.
By building local capacity, we can not only rescue bears, but prevent them being taken from the wild.
