Hi everyone! It's Jigsaw here, at the end of a lovely Summer. We’ve been rescuing bears, rehoming bears plus …. starring in our Bearlympics, just for fun! So off we go!
The rescue of Wonder is a reminder that the illegal trafficking of wildlife remains one of the greatest threats to animals across many countries.
READ HOW WONDER IS GETTING ON AT THE SANCTUARY
Could Lam's rescue represent a change of heart in the Phung Thuong region ? With the help of the Forest Protection Department (FPD) we hope so...
Better news elsewhere as another province in Vietnam is finally free from bear bile farms. Forever.

Further cause for celebration as a circus surrenders its remaining bears to us, leaving just a few to comply with a government regulation to end live animal acts
READ HOW THE SPICE GIRLS ARE SETTLING IN
Sometimes, though, we have to share some sad news and this time it is with a heavy heart we farewell our much adored mini bear Caz, here in Vietnam.
ENJOY A BIT MORE ABOUT THIS LITTLE POCKET ROCKET OF A BEAR!
We miss little Caz but can take heart knowing that many of the recently relocated Nanning bears are relishing their new freedoms at our sanctuary in Chengdu.
Do watch a couple of video clips of these Nanning bears settling in: Tess will impress you and Christiann will make you laugh! It’s wonderful to have the China sanctuary full of so many bears again!
TESSY, THE VERY CLEVER BEAR
SHORT AND FUNNY CLIP !
That's a bit of a roundup for the sanctuary news. So that just leaves …. My news! My puzzle got a lovely boost in June and is chugging along nicely but still 36 pieces to go! With so many bears now needing loving care and our second Vietnam sanctuary underway soon … we know one bear is already taken care of… when you support ME!
I'D LOVE A LITTLE SOMETHING IN MY HONEY POT PLEASE
But before I go I promised you one more story: In July and August we bears got into the Olympic spirit with our very own Bearlympics ! We had all sorts of events: weightlifting, shot put, gymnastics, paw ball, plank twirling, log lift. But I’d have to say of all the events THIS video shows my favourite Bearlympic sport….
Enjoy watching THE NOTHING MUCH Bearlympic event
Not surprisingly, I'm most fond of the Barrel event ... LOL ... and I'm super hoping you are, too....
THANKS FOR HELPING ME ALONG
See you closer to Christmas time! Love, your bear, Jigsaw
