VIETNAM-ANIMAL-WILDLIFE-BEARS-ENVIRONMENT

This photo taken on August 15, 2018 shows a rescued bear roaming around a sanctuary in Ninh Binh Province for bears rescued from farms and facilities where they were formerly exploited for bile extractions used for traditional medicine. - Bear bile is extracted -- often continuously and painfully -- from the animals' gallbladders and used in traditional medicine in Vietnam, where the illegal practice remains widespread. But consumers are shunning the farmed version in favour of bile taken from the nearly extinct wild bear population, which can cost 12 times more, and farmers can no longer earn what they used to from the illicit trade.
