Celebrities are taking an increasing interest in Romanian bear sanctuary

British singer Leona Lewis has recently visited a WSPA bear reservation in Zarnesti, Romania. On the same note, Australian pop star Natalie Imbruglia has starred in a documentary about the same bear sanctuary near the city of Brasov, Transylvania.

Leona Lewis, British singer and proclaimed vegetarian, visited the WSPA bear sanctuary last weekend, after having previously declared that at the end of her European tour she would visit the reservation in Romania, in order to see how the abused animals were recovering. Natalie Imbruglia, on the other hand, has starred in a one-hour documentary that captures the Australian singer traveling across Romania with the World Society for the Protection of Animals helping to rescue imprisoned bears and to bring them in the reservation in Zarnesti.

The sanctuary is encouraging those interested to take part in a volunteer vacation at the Zarnesti location and provide assistance to the staff. Some of the work tasks include feeding the bears, repairing fences, working in the bear health unit, and showing visitors the grounds.
