Thanks to your warm-hearted generosity, our dedicated expert on the ground, Phuong, has already begun important bile farm monitoring visits across Vietnam.

These visits mean bears are not forgotten. It means someone is looking out for them while we continue working towards ending the bear bile trade for good.

Here’s a special update from Rebecca Keeble, our Wildlife Campaign Strategist, just for you:

Chinh the bear spent 20 years in a tiny cage, suffering for his bile.

Thanks to people like you who cared, Chinh’s heartbreaking story of a life in captivity was turned into a heartwarming one.

Today, he roams freely and enjoys warm sunlight in his semi-wild home at a FOUR PAWS sanctuary. He can finally feel soft grass under his paws and splash about in his pool.

Na the bear was forced to spend 20 years of her life in heartbreaking captive conditions on a bile farm in Vietnam.

Thankfully, she’s safe today and lives at a FOUR PAWS sanctuary where she has plenty of space to roam and forage, bathe in the sun, and play in a semi-wild environment along with other bears like her.
