The logistical feat of feeding a sanctuary's moon bear population
In short: Maintaining a wildlife sanctuary requires more than just passion; it demands industrial-scale logistics. This video explores the massive coordination needed to sustain 39 hungry bears in Laos while fighting against illegal bile farming.
Conservationist Giles Clark is spearheading a pioneering rescue center in Southeast Asia to protect sun and moon bears from the bear bile trade. The mission involves not just rehabilitation, but creating wild enclosures for liberated animals and facilitating their return to nature.
The sheer scale of nutrition required is immense: in a single week, the sanctuary must provide thousands of bananas, marrows, sweet potatoes, pineapples, cucumbers, and pumpkins to keep the 39 residents fed.
