The fundraising campaign to create a maternal enclosure at the Libearty sanctuary, recorded an unexpected success. In less than a month, the “Millions of Friends” Association managed to raise over 10,000 euros, the amount required to begin the construction. „We are glad that Romanians have supported this campaign as well. Therefore, we would like to thank Speranta Bucur and Carmen Oprescu, AMP’s most passionate supporters. However, the most generous helping hand came from The European Nature Trust (TENT), through Paul Lister, a friend of our sanctuary”, said Cristina Lapis, President of AMP.
Mother love
The construction work will begin as soon as possible. The enclosure named Mother Love will have an area of 2500 square meters and will allow Terra and her 8 months old cub Pluto, to live together in natural conditions. The two were rescued from Resita Zoo, a public institution that breeds animals for profit. These two bears were on sale in the spring of this year, through a newspaper announcement, but the Libearty bear sanctuary rescued them. See a short video of the two bears HERE
