 A bear’s picnic £10 feeds a bear for a month To restore a rescued bear to full
health, he needs to be put on a nutritious diet as soon as he enters the sanctuary. Your gift could provide a bear with rich and varied food for a month - which includes termites, fruit, cereals and honey.

 Get well soon £15 provides emergency vet care for sick bears Most of the bears we rescue need immediate veterinary treatment to heal the injuries and wounds they have suffered. Your donation will help us nurse a bear back to health.

 The hills are alive £25 helps us create delicious termite hills We want to make the environment
as natural as possible at our sanctuaries in India and termites are a favourite delicacy for sloth
bears who are perfectly equipped to extract them with their claws and very long tongues.

 Social climbing £50 plants 5 trees in a sanctuary Bears love to climb trees – seeking
shade from the sun, to play, or in search of fruit or honey from bees’ nests. Your donation will help us create a natural forest environment at our sanctuaries for bears who have only known cruelty and captivity.

 Home sweet home £100 builds a bear den We like to build dens for the bears at our sanctuaries to recreate their natural habitat and help them get the peace and quiet they need to recover from the cruelty they’ve experienced.

 Loving care £250 helps to train keepers With your donation, our experienced
team of handlers from Agra will be able to train new keepers at one of our sanctuaries in bear care and rehabilitation skills.
