UNITED KINGDOM GIFT AID DONATIONS
Protecting bears, together
Sun bears and moon bears across Asia are being stolen from the wild, trafficked, and kept in conditions no animal should endure.
Your donation helps rescue bears from the illegal wildlife trade and bile farms, provide lifelong sanctuary, and protect wild populations across Asia.
For even greater impact, become a Bear Carer (monthly donor) and provide the ongoing support that helps us care for rescued bears through every stage of their life.

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. 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.
FROM RESCUE TO RECOVERY
From the first day of their rescue to years of dedicated care in the sanctuary, your support helps make every step of a rescued bear's recovery possible.

Where your donation goes
We’re fighting for a world where bears are no longer exploited for profit, traded as commodities, or taken from the wild.
Every donation supports the full scope of our work — from urgent rescues to lifelong sanctuary care, and protecting wild bear populations across Asia.
While much has been achieved, the work is far from finished. Illegal wildlife trade, habitat loss and continued demand for bear products still threaten bears across Asia.
Free the Bears remains committed to protecting bears today while ensuring their survival in the wild for generations to come.
Every rescue, every protected habitat and every conservation breakthrough is made possible by people who care about the future of bears.
Help us continue this important work, to protect the next generation of bears, by donating today.
