A Den for "Naji"
We're all still incredibly excited about reaching our target of A$12,800 to sponsor our very own moon bear.
Remember that it's possible that "Naji" will arrive before christmas, we all have our fingers crossed!
We want to make "Naji" as comfortable as possible, upon his/her arrival at the sanctuary.
The cost to build a den for "Naji" is A$6,600.
If we start raising funds now, we could be well on the way to providing
"Naji" with a den when he/she arrives at the sanctuary. Please help us if you can.
Donate to Naji's Den here

Please help us to raise enough money to build "Naji" a den.
If you've lived for twenty years in a tiny cage, the great outdoors
can be a daunting experience in the first few weeks of release.
A den gives these bears what they need most in the world -
a safe and secure home and a place to run back to whenever
they feel threatened or upset. Inside, they have friends to console them, food to reassure them and hanging basket beds to dream
their worries away, before facing the challenges of another new day.
Photo shows Jill Robinson feeding peanuts to "Andrew" in his den, following a romp with his friends in the sanctuary forest!
