For 21 years, Fern never saw the sun or the moon.
Yet she is a moon bear, named for the cream crescent her species carries on its chest: a half-moon mark on a bear built for Asia’s forests, warm lowlands and cold mountains.
But Fern was torn from that world as a cub and found herself in a cage scarcely larger than her body - a victim of the cruel bear bile trade.
Now, thanks to the tireless work of @AnimalsAsia, she can finally look up.
And see the white glow of the moon.

Good morning solana:BfK1fZuZjcgtxpdKowafwDzFTywdVzyQb5mRYAdHpump holders
The weekend is finally here but we keep building on this project.
Bullish news coming soon.
🐻✊ THE REVOLUTION AGAINST THE CAGES.
Fern spent 21 years confined by the bear bile industry. Her freedom now represents the many bears still held captive for this practice.
No more cages. No more bile extraction. Let every bear know freedom. 🐻🌿 cA: solana:BfK1fZuZjcgtxpdKowafwDzFTywdVzyQb5mRYAdHpump

With our mission to shed a spotlight on Fern's story and the bile bear trade, to raise awareness and ultimately donations for a worthy cause, we want to share with you each day some of the surprising facts about the trade Fern was rescued from.
Did you know Bear bile is used in some traditional medicines because it contains ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), a compound with genuine medical uses for certain liver and gallbladder conditions. But bears aren't needed to produce UDCA. It can be manufactured as a purified medicine without extracting bile from bears.
Why does this matter?
Tens of thousands of bears have been affected by bear-bile farming across Asia. Bears can be kept for years while their bile is repeatedly extracted, with welfare investigations documenting chronic injuries, infections, deformities, inadequate housing and severe stress. So while UDCA can be a legitimate medicine, using bears as its source is not medically necessary, and the same animals can suffer repeatedly over many years.

The top 4 holders on fomo have all switched their PFPs to the moon bear 🐻
I recommend other holders on fomo to change their PFP to support the movement using this image in the second slide.

🚨 Important announcement
We have two mission to achieve with solana:BfK1fZuZjcgtxpdKowafwDzFTywdVzyQb5mRYAdHpump which are:
1. 100% of Creator Fees are sent to @donatedotgg for the benefit of Asian charities that rescue bears from bile farming
2. building a movement of people who want to help end the bear bile trade.
Please take note of this!
A community of people in crypto was deeply touched by the video of Fern being released from a cage after 21 years and decided to launch a project to make donations for her welfare and start a movement to protect moon bears.
We have been able to raised over $6,000 through a trusted and verified organization @donatedotgg with the target of raising it to $100k this month to support animal Asia in fighting against bear bile trade in Asia.
This is not just about making only donations, our community members are willing to use their platforms to support the "Stop bear bile trade in Asia" movement.
We will love you to show some support Ricky ❤️🙏.

We have been holding a good floor in the past few days, work is not done yet.
Team keep building.
21 years in darkness. Then everything changed. 🐻🌿
Fern was rescued by Animals Asia and finally given the chance to experience something she had been denied for decades: freedom.
Her past cannot be changed.
Her future can. 💚
This is only the beginning. $FERN

For 21 years, Fern knew only darkness. 🐻
A cage was her entire world. Her freedom was taken from her, but her story was not over.
Then, one day, she saw the light. 🌿
This is Fern’s journey — from captivity to freedom.
