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, including moon bears and sun bears are cared for by our dedicated teams who help them heal – physically and emotionally.
