The Wildheart Trust
Project Bear
Help us rescue two restaurant bears from Azerbaijan, Balu and Benji, and build them an amazing new enclosure at our Sanctuary.
Story
Helps Us Rescue Balu & Benji
Brothers Balu and Benji have only ever known a life of misery on the side of a restaurant in Azerbaijan. Alone, hungry and suffering serious injuries, these "restaurant bears" were considered nothing more than a roadside novelty for customers. Living off scraps in a tiny cage, they were malnourished, starving, and underweight.
Bringing Bears to Wildheart
Still living in a tiny cage and in desperate need of rescue, these bears have only ever experienced trauma, abuse, and neglect. They deserve a safe home that will mimic their natural habitat and to live the rest of their lives in peace. To help these bears thrive, we need to build a tailored enclosure which will support their rehabilitation and ensure they grow to thrive once more.
We have a suitable area earmarked within our site but we need your help to create an inspiring place for our rescue bears to call home.
Every pound raised can help us reach our goal of £150,000 to ensure a suitable home and transport for these worthy animals.
All donations can help make a difference. From the smallest screw to whole shipping containers, we need it all to make this build possible and save these amazing brothers!
