URGENT BEAR CUB RESCUE

THE FATE OF 16 MOON BEAR CUBS. . . 

Laos government officials recently captured a wildlife trafficker and in a shocking discovery, they found 17 orphaned endangered Bear cubs in his possession. Our partners in Laos were called upon to provide immediate assistance to save the lives of these precious cubs. Sadly, when they arrived they found one bear cub had already perished. Time is always of the essence with rescue!


The remaining 16 tiny Bear cubs were in critical condition. Without immediate intervention, these cubs' chances of survival would be grim. 


The fate of these tiny Moon Bear cubs is in our hands - they desperately need our help!

The cost of emergency rescue of these  Bear cubs is incredibly high - over $1,000 per bear.  And that's just the beginning.  Your generosity today will allow Asia Wild to make a grant to our partner in Laos. Your donations will directly support the rescue and rehabilitation of these Bears. With your help we can give them the life they deserve!

PLIGHT OF ORPHANED CUBS

These cubs cried out in pain with no mother to care for them. Without immediate assistance, many more would die. The plight these orphaned cubs is a stark reminder of the ongoing threats facing endangered species worldwide.

ROUND THE CLOCK FEEDINGS

All 16 of these tiny bear cubs need round-the-clock feedings with a specialized formula and urgent medical care. Without it, they might not survive the transport to the sanctuary.

A LIFETIME IN SANCTUARY

If they survive, each cub will need a lifetime of care to rehabilitate from the trauma. Without their mother to teach them to survive, bears cannot be released into the wild. They will live in the protection of Sanctuary for their entire lives - up to 30 years.
