Firstly, wherever you are, we hope you and your loved ones are safe during this pandemic. Countries locking down their communities is affecting everyone and our teams worldwide are being affected as well, as travel restrictions are forcing us all to cut back on the amount of campaign travel and fundraising we can do this year. We will thus have to modify our plans to accomplish our collective goals this year, as our fundraising opportunities have seriously become curtailed this season.
But, we wanted to give you good news to think about today! Remember our sun bear rescue with Indonesian partner ISCP? (https://www.facebook.com/iscp.original/) Well, our collaboration has been working hard to make life better for our little friend that our ISCP and Indonesian wildlife authority partners saved from the illegal wildlife market! In building up the infrastructure to help him, we, together, build a way to save countless other sun bears that the collaboration can help in the future!
Also a welcome and big thanks to the Sumatran Sun Bear Team (https://www.facebook.com/sumatransunbearteam/), helping to rehabilitate our boy!
Our collaborative team has just completed building much larger enclosures for him, so he can have more room to roam around in between training to be an outdoor bear again!
Although things are very rough in the world for so many right now, we wanted to give you something happy being developed. Something that you helped create.
Huge thank you to IFAW for giving ISCP the ability to expand into sun bear territory.
