August 2009: Our top selling design in this range is the bears, and we have donated proceeds from the sales of these cards to the Free the Bears Fund to help keep the bears alive and protected - we’re sponsoring Bouncer for a year - who was rescued after being caught in a trap as a small cub. He had suffered terribly and his right forearm was badly mutilated. Unfortunately, his arm had to be completely amputated but Bouncer has managed to adapt remarkably well and now lives happily with a group of Sun bears at the Wildlife Friends of Thailand Rescue Centre in Phetchaburi.
Here’s Bouncer!
