See what other blogs are saying about the Tat Kuang Si Bear Rescue Center:

“f you’ve never seen black bears playing in a park like children at daycare, you should probably book the next ticket to Luang Prabang, Laos and head 30 kilometers south to the Tat Kuang Si Rescue Center. Here, there are 23 Asiatic Black Bears rescued from illegal poaching and trading, and all of them are prospering in an environment built to keep them safe, active and happy.”

“At the heart of Tat Kuang Si Park, the Bear Rescue Center is located about 30km from the city center of Luang Prabang. It was established by Free the Bears Fund, an organization founded in 1995 by Mary Hutton after learning about the plight of countless bears in many parts of Asia. The group has been active in campaigning against the cruel practice of bile farming and the capture and illegal trade of bears across the globe. They have made it their mission “to protect, preserve, and enrich the lives of bears throughout the world.”
