These can take many forms from a dinner party to a concert and can be an incredible amount of fun for organizers and participants alike. Make new friends and a make a real difference all in one go.

4. Sign up and Stay up to Date

Sign up to our Animals Asia page and we’ll keep you up to date on ways to help, petitions to sign and news of our progress.

5. Donate

The work of organizations like Animals Asia is entirely funded by our incredible supporters around the world who donate to our programs. With their help, we have been able to rescue and rehabilitate over 500 bears in China and Vietnam. We’ve also made significant progress raising awareness of the cruelty of bear bile farming and working with parties including traditional medicine practitioners and governments.

Once animals are saved from the bear bile industry, their care doesn’t stop there. Each animal rescued is a commitment to care for them for the rest of their natural lives. It’s a huge and costly commitment, but one which we and our supporters firmly believe is worth the investment.
