In Phung Thuong – Vietnam’s last bile farming stronghold – 87 bears remain trapped across 16 farms. For many years, bile farmers have closed ranks and resisted any attempts to surrender even sick and elderly bears.

Now, we’re starting to see a glimmer of hope. But there’s a problem… rescue missions here must happen in secret.

Please, will you join this secret, silent rescue mission with a gift today and help save as many of the precious Phung Thuong bears as possible?

Thanks to a generous group of donors, when you donate by December 31 your gift will be matched – dollar for dollar – up to $88,000, DOUBLING the life-saving power of your gift.*

Until now, we’ve been able to talk about emergency rescues and raise the vital funds needed bear by bear. But our careful negotiations in Phung Thuong are far too delicate to risk any publicity.

Some farmers are determined never to give up their bears. Others fear social exclusion. So until a bear is safely on their way to one of our sanctuaries, there’s always the chance a farmer could change their mind.

Please, if you can, give this festive season and join this quiet rescue mission for Phung Thuong’s last bile bears. Don’t forget, every $1 you give today becomes $2.

*All single gifts and the first installment of monthly gifts will be matched up to $88,000 until December 31 2024. All donations will be used to help rescue bears, care for our community of rescued bears and fund our wider work to promote the welfare of animals in Asia.
