Dewi ~ Cambodia Sun Bear
Money raised from the raffles and teddy bear competition is donated towards Dewi's upkeep for a year.
Dewi was rescued by Free the Bears Fund as a young orphaned cub in 2000.
She had been confiscated from the poachers who had taken her and
were planning to sell her to the restaurant or exotic pet trade.
Dewi is now cared for and resides in the Free the Bears sanctuary in the
Phnom Tamao Zoological Gardens and Wildlife Rescue Centre.
She has grown into a very beautiful and confident bear with many friends who love her.

Our Dewi page has proved to be a popular stop for most viewing our web site,
so we thought you might like to see a few more of the rescued bears.
This is Mary Hutton, the founder of Free the Bears Fund Inc., with Bijli.

Whether you love teddy bears, or like me, you love and believe bears contribute
to our lives in ways other than being the inspiration for the teddy bear.
Please visit these sites and do what you can to help the bears to survive.
Then, in years to come, your children and your children’s children
will still be able to see them . . . enjoying life in the wild.
