Hello John,

As you know, at the heart of Born Free lies the individual – every animal counts! We believe each one deserves a life free from harm but, conversely, this work is only possible thanks to teamwork.

Filled with good news and hope, this month’s update shows what happens when people who care get together. Meet our 13th and 14th leopards safely rehomed in paradise, see how you’re saving rare tigers and bonobos, plus discover easy ways to make your garden wildlife-friendly.

Could there be a greater contrast? From a dark barren cell at an illegal breeding facility in Poland, to the South African sunshine, Alda (pictured above) and her daughter Ginny are safe at our big cat sanctuary at last.

It was a big team effort to get them there, but rescue and care is our life-blood. It makes our hearts sing! No one will ever hurt Alda and Ginny again, and with your help, our mission will continue to fight those who want to exploit wild animals for profit.

BONOBO COUSINS

There’s something so special about Africa’s ‘other ape’. Their unique, female-led society uses love not war to resolve conflict, encouraging cooperation and peace. Thank you so much for helping us to protect these mysterious, endangered great apes.

As you see, teamwork really is the dreamwork for Born Free. Thank you, as ever, for sharing our vision for a kinder world. Each animal needs us. Each would say thank you if only they could. But, in their place, may we do so for them. Thank you so much!

From, your friends at Born Free
