Founded by Dr Jill Robinson MBE in 1998, Animals Asia Foundation is devoted to the welfare of wild and urban animals in Asia. We also work towards the conservation of endangered species. We have three flagship programmes: End Bear Farming, Cat and Dog Welfare and Action against Cruelty. Under these, we have many campaigns, including the Moon Bear Rescue aimed at bringing the barbaric practice of bear farming and the bile trade to an end. We have signed agreements with both the Chinese and Vietnamese governments to rescue 700 bears from the torture of bile farms, and bring them to our sanctuaries to live out their lives in peace and safety. At present, we have around 250 rescued bears at our sanctuaries in China and Vietnam and over the years, we’ve rescued a total of 350 bears. In China, we’re working with conservation leaders in Beijing as well as forestry leaders in individual provinces to close down farms and make whole provinces bear-farm free. So far, we’ve closed down 43 Chinese farms and seen 20 of mainland China’s 31 provinces become proudly bear farm-free. We also work to reduce the demand for bile in Asia by promoting affordable, effective and cruelty-free alternatives. https://www.animalsasia.org/uk/our-work/end-bear-bile-farming/

Under Cat and Dog Welfare, our campaigns include Friends or Food (to end cat and dog eating in Asia) and Animal Therapy (our pioneering Dr Dog and Professor Paws programmes). More than 250 registered therapy dogs and their guardians volunteer in 10 Asian cities, spreading their special brand of comfort and love to those in need in hospitals, orphanages, schools and centres for the disabled. We feel these dogs are the perfect ambassadors for their species (as well as for cats) and hope that eventually people will grow to love all animals through their love of these companion animals. https://www.animalsasia.org/uk/our-work/cat-and-dog-welfare/

Under our multi-species programme, Action against Cruelty, our campaigns include Captive Bear Care; Chinese Zoos and Safari Parks; and Wildlife Consumption. We lobby government departments at all levels for long-term comprehensive changes to legislation on China animal-protection laws as well as to bring about positive changes today. In October 2010, shortly after we intensified our almost 20-year campaign to end cruel performances in zoos and safari parks in China, the ministry responsible for zoos issued a directive country-wide ordering the end of animal performances and improvements to the living conditions of animals in zoos on a number of levels. Under Animal Welfare Action, we harness the voices of supporters around the globe to lobby for specific actions by governments or organisations. We raise awareness of cruel practices and mistreatment of animals used in public entertainment and traditional medicine. We expose the brutality of live-animal markets and co-ordinate relief for animals in emergency situations. https://www.animalsasia.org/uk/our-work/zoos-and-safari-parks/

Animals Asia Foundation has charitable status in Australia, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Luxembourg and the UK, and 501(c)(s) status in the USA. Donations are tax-deductible in these countries in accordance with local regulations. To be successful we need the help of people like you to volunteer your time to help us spread the word about the plight of the bears and to raise the precious funds necessary for us to continue this vital work. https://www.animalsasia.org/uk/get-involved/spread-the-word.html

Bonnie and Clyde have spent their first night at our Tam Dao bear sanctuary after an epic four-day journey from the bile farm we rescued them from.

They're both settling in quite well but are understandably still a little nervous and probably unsure as to what's going on, so our team tries to limit the amount of noise and action in the quarantine area in the first few days.

However, when Amy went in to check on them this morning she caught these lovely pictures of Clyde as he was devouring his first ever coconut!

We'll bring you pictures and clips of our two gorgeous new arrivals as soon as we can.
