We need your help to build a new Sun Bear enclosure! Desi, Kevin, and Hilda are fully-grown adult sun bears that were rescued by OFI. Over the past year, they were introduced to each other and are now happily living together - but, now that they're together, they need a bigger, better home! This short film was made by Patrick Rouxel, a French filmmaker and a dedicated volunteer who has spent the last three years at the OFI's Orangutan Care Center and Quarantine (OCCQ) helping to look after the sun bears and other ex-captive animals that OFI has rescued in addition to orangutans. "Kevin, Desi and Hilda are victims of deforestation and human greed, and have done nothing to deserve life imprisonment in solitary confinement. As a friend of these three bears, it is for me a moral obligation to do what I can to help them. I cannot give them back their freedom, because captive adult sun bears don't have the skills to readjust to life in the wild, but I can give them a better place to live." - Patrick Rouxel, OFI volunteer and filmmaker Read more more about Kevin, Desi, and Hilda on our website!  |
