Dear John,

As 2022 draws to a close, we wanted to let you know how grateful we are for all you’ve done to support lion care and conservation in our special Year of the Lion. Across the world, in your tens of thousands, you joined our pride and helped raise vital funds and awareness for lions.

As you can see in the video above, you’ve helped us achieve a lot!

Our Year of the Lion was launched in memory of our Co-Founder Bill Travers MBE, who would have been 100 this year.

“My late father, Bill, would have been delighted so many of you have commemorated and celebrated his life by helping wild animals in need,” said our delighted Executive President Will Travers OBE.

Highlights of our Year of the Lion include:

But this is just a fraction of what you helped Born Free achieve for lions and many other wild species in 2022. Take a look at our latest news to find out more.

We hope you’re inspired! Thank you for being so loyal, generous and caring, especially during these challenging times. Together we make the BEST team. Now, let’s roar for the animals in 2023!

From, your friends at Born Free
