LOOK AT THE INCREDIBLE DIFFERENCE YOU'VE MADE!

Hello John

Thank you so much for all your support throughout 2021. It has been a difficult year in so many ways. But also another remarkable year, with so many highlights thanks to YOU.

WORLD'S BIGGEST BOMA BUILT

You reinforced a 500m night shelter in Amboseli, Kenya to protect livestock and encourage coexistence with lions. Since 2010, that’s 357 bomas built while lions have increased by an incredible 182% from 50 to 141!

SAVING TIGERS, ONE AT A TIME

You helped raise over £50,000 to keep wild tigers safe from poachers, stop captive suffering and care for individuals – not least Sandro, now safe and happy at a sanctuary in Italy after years in a barren zoo pen.

RARE SPECIES WIN BIG

Six projects are now benefitting from our 2021 McKenna-Travers awards. So, YOU now help protect bonobos in Congo, spider monkeys in the Amazon, grey parrots in Cameroon and more. Fantastic!

HELPING HUGE HERBIVORES

Thanks to your generous gifts, our Save Africa’s Giants ( [link removed] ) appeal raised over £53,000 to keep rare giraffes and elephants safe in our charity’s homeland of Meru in Kenya, the park where Elsa the lioness returned to the wild.

CONSERVATION IN ACTION

But, you’ve already had an impact in Meru. Lions AND rhinos are on the up, with seven cubs born to Elsa’s Pride in 2021, and TEN rhino births. Meanwhile in Borneo, nine new orangutans were born in Lamandau Reserve.

GROUND BREAKIING REPORTS

You helped our team of scientists and vets publish FOUR hard-hitting reports on captive wildlife exploitation, not least ‘Christmas reindeer’ and wild pets. We are calling on the UK government to radically overhaul legislation.

SEISMIC SHIFT UNDERWAY

After years of our campaigning, aided by you, South Africa at last looks set to ban the cruel trophy hunting of captive-bred lions, while the UK could at last phase out keeping elephants in zoos AND ban the import of trophies from wild animals shot for ‘fun’. Result! READ MORE ( [link removed] )

GOODBYE CIRCUS, HELLO AFRICA

Safe at their tranquil, temporary home in France, plans are afoot to move our four ‘lockdown lions’ to our sanctuary in South Africa. We’ll be in touch soon with more news but, aided by your donations, we’re working hard to secure flights and obtain permits. READ MORE ( [link removed] )

YOU'RE A RESCUE & CARE CHAMPION!

There’s barely room to report on the thousands of other animals you look after. From orphan pangolins and bear cubs rehabilitated to the wild, to dozens of big cats given lifetime care in wonderful sanctuaries including lonely lion King now blissful with Thea. READ MORE ( [link removed] )

None of this lifesaving work could be possible without you. The animals can’t tell you how grateful they are, but we can. So, thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

We are looking forward to this new year, Born Free’s Year of the Lion, with hope and optimism. Let’s keep wildlife in the wild in 2022. And forever.
