ABOUT FREE THE BEARS

Free the Bears works with communities, schools, and organisations across Asia to change attitudes and raise awareness of the wildlife trade. They work with universities and other institutions that conduct critical research. Besides that, they also work with the government, law enforcement agencies, and other charities to create and implement a framework to combat wildlife traders. Besides habitat loss, one of the main threats to bears in Asia is the illegal wildlife trade. Many of their rescued bears are rescued from poachers, exotic pet owners, or people planning to use them in traditional medicine. Poachers kill or capture bears via hunting or snare traps, selling them locally, or smuggling them abroad. Free the Bears has helped rescued over 950 bears from the world’s most vulnerable bear species (sun bears, moon bears, and sloth bears) and provides ongoing care to hundreds of rescued sun bears and moon bears at their sanctuaries in three countries.
