Turn your computer desktop into a bear sanctuary!

This is Cybear!This is Cybear. He wants to come and live on your computer. He walks, climbs, sleeps and even eats. He comes equipped with his own den to sleep in, a mud pool to wallow in, plenty of space for wandering and a full supply of healthy fresh food - just like the real bears at our sanctuary in Agra. But this bear lives on your computer desktop. We call him Cybear, and as well as being very cute and a lot of fun he also has a vitally important job to do.

We’ve created Cybear as a unique - and highly cost effective - fundraising tool to help us spread the word about our work with the ’dancing’ bears of India. Now, in order to raise vital funds, we need Cybear to reach as many people as possible.

Once installed, choose ’Make Wallpaper Interactive’.

Cybear desktop sanctuarySetting him up on your computer is safe, easy and free. Then, if you wish, you can register your Cybear by making a small donation to our work (£5 minimum). This will in turn activate Cybear’s mailbox which means we’ll be able to keep you instantly up to date with all the news from IAR - including the latest on our bear rescues and updates and pictures from Agra.

Once you’ve got Cybear, please pass him on! Once you’ve met Cybear for yourself, please pass him on to as many people as possible by emailing them with our web address.

We want Cybear living on computers all over the world - telling people about our work and raising vital funds. This is a bold, innovative new fundraising idea and we need you to help us make it work. So please send him on to as many people as you can think of!
