Annual review
In 2025, our collaborative work with the authorities in Vietnam takes us even closer to eradicating bear bile farming from the country. A goal we aim to achieve in 2026.
Read our Annual Review 2025 to see the incredible things we achieved with your help:
Life-long care
Across our three sanctuaries in Chengdu, China, and Tam Dao and Bach Ma in Vietnam, we cared for a total of 275 bears, the vast majority of whom are victims of the bear bile industry.
In Vietnam, three elephants, including 47-year-old Ban Nang, were welcomed into our care after years giving rides to tourists, joining a second Ethical Elephant Tours programme launched in Dak Lak Province.
Reaching thousands of animals in need
Our companion animal teams helped more than 7,000 dogs and cats in struggling shelters and our wildlife programmes supported the rescue and release of 30,000 songbirds in Indonesia.
All thanks to you
Financially, we achieved a record breaking income of $31.21 million, driven largely by exceptional bequest donations, which will fund urgent, long-delayed sanctuary upgrades and help futureproof its work across Asia.
As always, our achievements this year were made possible entirely by supporters’ generosity.
