There is a bear in a small cage. Feel his confusion, sadness and despair.
There are people who live in a country with no welfare system, the only food, shelter and income, that which they provide for themselves. These people too are in a cage: a cage constructed from poverty.
There are people thousands of miles away who feel anger and despair when they think of captive bears, and the countries that exploit their wildlife. Counter productive feelings that slowly form into the bars of a cage, which holds both heart, and mind prisoner.
In a small area in Asia people work to save bears. Once poachers, they have been given the opportunity to protect the very animals they once sought to capture. Such projects radiate hope for the future: hope for sustainability of both wildlife and community alike. Hope, which allows us to escape that first cage: that of mental despair.
In doing so we can approach the second cage, insert the key and release the village from its cage of poverty. That which once held the desperate and poor is removed to reveal people employed and able to feed their families, functioning as a proud, self-respecting part of the community.
Take the hand of the local villager and together approach the third cage, that which holds the bear. As he is liberated see the bear stretch and run: safe and protected from now on.
Free the Bears Fund challenges you to liberate your mind, to explore sustainable alternatives towards the illegal wildlife trade and treat with compassion those, who by the very situation of their birth, find themselves in an impoverished and desperate situation.
Join us as we implement proactive conservation initiatives, which aim to protect, preserve and enrich the lives not only of bears, but those who live alongside them. By combining compassion for our fellow man with a belief in the dignity and beauty of nature, Free the Bears Fund knows that this approach is the key to the future!
Join us as we use this key to Unlock the Cage of Darkness....
