2022 IS BORN FREE'S 'YEAR OF THE LION' |
Dear John Today, in honour of the 100th birthday of our charity’s fearless co-founder Bill Travers MBE, we’re celebrating the launch of our ‘Year of the Lion’ - a year of urgent action for lions with special lion-themed ways to support our work and get involved. Bill Travers was a lion of a man. Sadly, he died in 1984, but his unstoppable energy, compassion and strength live on in the work of our charity. |

FOREVER LIONS
Sadly, lion numbers have been decimated from 200,000 a century ago to just 20,000 today. But there is hope and throughout the year, we’ll be fighting for a future for lions, and YOU can join us!
We’ve set up a Forever Lions Fund in memory of Bill, a vital fundraising campaign, with funds raised throughout the year directly helping to address the plight of lions around the world. |
|
|
Together we can work to halt the devastating decline in wild lions which has seen numbers fall by 90% since the film Born Free was made; we can campaign for the welfare of lions exploited in captivity and rescue individuals in need; we can make real changes to the cruel trophy hunting and canned hunting industries; and we can inspire future generations to protect lions. Forever.
Read more about our four key objectives to tackle the real issues lions face, here. |
With YOUR generous support, we can make real and permanent
change.
PLUS: Look out for other ways to get involved throughout the
year, including special events, competitions and activities, kicking off in London
this January with the spectacular Born Free Forever exhibition. We’ll also be in touch soon to invite you to join the Born Free Pride, an exciting opportunity to receive exclusive updates and content throughout the year.
Let’s make 2022 a year to remember, and a year of action for lions!
Thank you,
The Born Free Team |
