Help rescue bears

Rescuing animals. Restoring respect. Ending cruelty.

Animals Asia is devoted to ending bear bile farming and improving the welfare of animals across Asia. We’ve been rescuing bears from lives of cruelty and giving them the safety and care they deserve for over 25 years. 

Through our sanctuaries, education and policy change, we’re building a kinder world for all animals.

Our work focuses on three key areas

Bear sanctuaries

Animals Asia runs award-winning bear rescue centres in the lush mountains of China and Vietnam.

They are home to hundreds of bears we've rescued from bile farming, illegal wildlife trafficking and the entertainment industry.
