The support of tens of thousands of animal lovers around the world won the Save the Halong Bay Bears campaign. Now, the task begins to get the 38 bears across Quang Ninh province home. 

It started with the #BearSeaRescue - the first time Animals Asia has ever rescued a bear by boat and considered as probably the most difficult the organisation would ever attempt.

Now safely back at Animals Asia’s Vietnam Bear Rescue Centre, the bears Sam and Simon are in need of urgent medical attention. They have started their 45-day-quarantine and will be assessed for further medical care.

The aim is to get these to bears rehabilitated and integrated into a community of moon bears in the sanctuary so they can spend their days in the sunshine.  It’s the very least they deserve.
