BEAR SANCTUARY Domazhyr
Sanctuary for abused brown bears in Ukraine since 2016
BEAR SANCTUARY Domazhyr provides a species-appropriate home and lifelong care to brown bears abused as baiting or circus bears, kept in small cages next to restaurants to attract customers, or held in other inadequate conditions. In their new home, our rescued bears can now follow their natural instincts. After a life in horrible captive circumstances, they (re)discover a species-appropriate life. Relaxed rambles through the green landscapes or exuberant splashing in the ponds: in BEAR SANCTUARY Domazhyr there are a variety of activities for every bear.
You can find more information on how to explore the sanctuary as a visitor here.
Founded in 2016
BEAR SANCTUARY Domazhyr is one of our newest sanctuaries. The first construction phase, covering 7.7 hectares, was completed in autumn 2017. Since then, the sanctuary has been expanded to 20.3 ha, providing accommodation for up to 30 bears.
