The high-stakes fight to end illegal bear bile farming in Asia
In short: Conservationist Giles Clark moves his family into a new rescue center in Laos to combat the illegal wildlife trade. This series follows his journey to liberate bears from captivity and establish a future where they can live wild.
The series documents the efforts to protect sun and moon bears, which are currently threatened by the illegal bear bile farming industry. Giles Clark, who has experience raising endangered tigers and big cats, helps establish a pioneering rescue center in Southeast Asia.
The project involves a multi-faceted approach: rearing cubs in a domestic setting, rescuing bears from across the country, and constructing large wild enclosures. The ultimate goal is to provide liberated animals with a natural life and successfully release them back into the wild.
