3. “Free the Bears”
Directed by Christophe Gargiulo, 2008, 26 min, Khmer version
There are five different types of the jungle: the evergreen jungle, the half-remote forest, the sparse forest, the other type of jungle, and land without jungle. The jungle is a habitat for many animals. Nowadays, these animals, such as bears, are in danger, especially due to trade. Bears, for example, are lucrative for trade because of their skin, their bones, their meat, their claw toes, their fangs, their gall bladder, and other parts. Besides, people keep young bears often as domestic animals.
