This is where the Libearty Bear Sanctuary comes in, re-homing, rehabilitating and giving these captive bears a chance of ending their days in a more natural environment. Zărnești Bear Sanctuary is recognized by many specialists, as the most ethical brown bear sanctuary in the world. The Sanctuary has 69 hectares of oak forest, with trees where the bears can climb, swimming pools where they can splash, food according to their diets studied by the veterinarians and medical care.
