Join the Free the Bears team to care for over 120 rescued Sun bears and Moon bears. Gain insights into why these magnificent creatures are threatened in Cambodia and explore our world-class facilities. Learn about our Education and Research Programs, all contributing to a brighter future for wild bears. Get hands-on by helping the Bear Care Team prepare food and treats for the bears' forest enclosures. Your participation directly supports bear rescue from the illegal wildlife trade.
