When tropical storm Dianmu knocked over trees at our Vietnam sanctuary damaging enclosures - it meant bears were not able to go outside.

But sanctuary staff worked around the clock to ensure that fences and bear houses were mended. In addition, Animals Asia supporters from across the world - gave so that these bears, rescued from the bile industry - could once more go outside.

Six days later the above happened. Staff happily watched the bears return into the sunshine.

As well as forwarding this beautiful footage - Bear and Vet Team Director Heidi sent the following heartfelt message:

“Thank you - you gave them sunshine!”

With the help of amazing supporters, Animals Asia continues to care for around 150 bears at its Vietnam sanctuary and almost 400 in Vietnam and China.
