Free The Bears

Logo for Free The Bears

FREE THE BEARS is an international wildlife conservation and animal welfare organisation. We work with local communities and governments throughout Asia to save three of the worlds least-known bear species - sun bears, moon bears (asiatic black bears) and sloth bears - from misery, torture and the threat of extinction. Alongside the animal rescue and rehabilitation work, the local communities benefit from employment, veterinary training, educational programmes, and tourism opportunities. Free the Bears has been at the forefront of nearly 900 bear rescues and supported development of 10 bear rehabilitation sanctuaries and saved the last of the dancing bears from the streets of India which are now housed in sanctuaries supported by Free the Bears.
