Walk on the Wild Side
August, 2023
Anywhere!
Last year's Walk on the Wild Side was a smash, with hundreds of you raising funds for lions. This year, we’re making it bigger and better by prowling for lions on World Lion Day (10 August) AND ambling for elephants on World Elephant Day (12 August)! And this year, there will be commemorative medals for everyone who raises a minimum of £100 for Born Free. So, will you be joining Team Lion, or Team Elephant?

Beyond Zoos
29 November, 2023
Royal Geographical Society, London
Following the impact of last year’s ‘Beyond Trophy Hunting’ discussion, this year we will be going ‘Beyond Zoos’. Our expert guests will explore whether our relationship with the natural world, viewed through the lens of the zoo experience, is over and, if so, what might replace it. Can we deliver greater support for conservation, biodiversity, ecosystem protection, animal welfare, public education and effective research by looking ‘beyond zoos’?

Save the date! You can join Born Free, our Patrons and friends for a fabulous evening of fine food and wine, dancing and entertainment on 21 March 2024. Following the roaring success of our Mane Event last year, we can’t wait to bring everyone together in person again, for our Black Tie Gala Ball – honouring Born Free’s 40th anniversary and all that we have achieved for wild animals, which we couldn’t have done without your support.
