Bear Sanctuaries
Animals Asia runs three world-class bear sanctuaries in Vietnam and China – safe, peaceful havens surrounded by lush forests and mountains.
Here, the bears we rescue from the cruelty of bile farms are cared for by our dedicated teams who help them heal – physically and emotionally.
