For the tenth year, a host of Animals Asia supporters recently gathered for a glittering event to raise essential funds for our new bear sanctuary in Bach Ma, Vietnam. Sponsored by The Mill in the beautiful, quintessentially English village of Sonning in Berkshire, it was the perfect location for an intimate evening with Animals Asia’s founder and CEO Jill Robinson and ambassadors and friends who generously donated their time and their incredible talents.

Animals Asia launches recipe book of herbal alternatives to bear bile
Bear bile has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years. It contains high levels of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) which is known to be useful for treating liver and gallbladder conditions in humans. But there are over 30 synthetic and herbal alternatives to bear bile that are just as effective, many of which we grow in our Vietnam sanctuary’s herb garden. Alongside Animals Asia’s work in rescuing bears from bile farms and working with the government to close the industry, we run outreach programs to engage with the traditional medicine community and users of bear bile to promote herbal alternatives.
2018.
Thank you for your generosity - our volunteers appreciate it.
