The aim of Free the Bears fund is to protect, preserve and enrich the lives of
bears throughout the world.
We seek to achieve this by:
 |
Funding and facilitating insitu and exsitu conservation and rehabilitation
projects. |
 |
Preservation and reservation of areas of natural habitat with the aim of
conserving bio-diversity. |
 |
Encouraging harmonious and respectful animal-human relationships by
facilitating profitable and sustainable alternatives to the illegal wildlife
trade. |
 |
Empowering indigenous people and communities through training initiatives
which enable indigenous communities to support themselves in a sustainable
manner through responsible custodianship of the bear and its environment. |
 |
Providing information, fostering awareness, and facilitating education with
regard to threats facing the global bear population. |
 |
Providing international support and sponsorship for individuals involved with
the preservation and conservation of bears. |
 |
Supporting the instigation of new, the review of existing, and the enforcement
of appropriate, wildlife legislation to prevent extortion of rare and endangered
species as a result of the illegal wildlife trade. |
 |
Funding and creation of new sanctuaries as required and continual maintenance
of existing bear sanctuaries and the physical and mental wellbeing of their
occupants. |
