Ursa Freedom Project

global project to conserve bears and their habitat

Money Bombs

Our Honey Money Drive is a short specific time (between 3-5 days) to donate money to a specific cause. The Honey Money Drive is modeled after money bombs, which allow people across the globe to make small contributions, which, when combined in the time period as a group, turns into a large sum. The most famous money bomb was dropped into the Ron Paul campaign in the U.S. on December 16, 2007, which raised $6.03 million in just 24 hours. Let's blow that record apart and raise some serious cash to liberate thousands of bears from bile farms! 

Nickels and dimes amount to hundreds of thousands, and millions of dollars. Every person counts, and every donation amount matters!

Next scheduled Hone Money Drive: Mother's Day, May 10.

Trafficking bears and their parts for use in traditional Asian medicine is decimating wild populations of bears.

Unless urgent reforms are introduced quickly, many species face an irreversible fate: extinction. There are over 50 herbal alternatives to bear bile for use in TCM. Download the WSPA pamphlet Herbal Alternatives to Bear Bile.

Within these eco portals are key people and organizations that are working to heal Mother Earth.

Smithsonian Zoogoer has great stories about the bear species and their wild relations.

Download the Educator's Guide to Biodiversity and engage in dialogue about teaching youth about our wondrous Mother Earth.

The IUCN Red List is a key conservation tool. Download the pdf to learn more.

"The longer we wait, the more expensive it will be to prevent future extinctions," says Dr Jane Smart, Head of IUCN's Species Programme. "We now know what species are threatened, what the threats are and where we have no more excuses to watch from the sidelines." Learn more about bears on the IUCN Red List of Threatened and Endangered Specie.

Hunted for sport, shot for their fur, killed for their gall bladders, farmed for their bile, used as 'dancing bears' and used in circuses ... their habitat is being destroyed. They need our protection. ~ WSPA
