The Free the Bears Fund is an organisation dedicated to protecting, preserving and enriching the lives of bears throughout the world.
Established in 1995, by West Australian Mary Hutton, Free the Bears Fund, has provided support to a wide range of projects across the globe; from the rehabilitation of orphaned bear cubs in the Russian Far East to surveying wild Spectacled bears in Ecuador. Most recently the focus has been on the Sun bears and Asiatic black bears of South-east Asia and the Sloth bears of India.
