Summary of activities
Free the Bears works with expert affiliate and partner groups on projects that will make a significant impact on animal welfare, conservation, education and environmental awareness. We work with national and provincial government partners to ensure the best chances of long-term success for each program including;
- Continued support for efforts aimed at reducing illegal poaching of bears in Cambodia and further development of the Cambodian Bear Sanctuary as a world-class facility for life-long care of bears, research and public education,
- Increased support for efforts aimed at ending bear bile farming in Lao PDR and Vietnam through ground- breaking research into wild bear populations, enhanced environmental awareness amongst the general public and development of new sanctuaries to provide care for any bears and other wildlife rescued from the illegal wildlife trade,
- Continued support for the care of former "dancing bears" in India, and monitoring of Kalandar communities to ensure that alternative livelihoods adopted following the cessation of bear dancing are sustainable and lead to improved welfare for the community.
