Hi John,
Today is precious for Born Free – it would have been George Adamson’s birthday. Known as the ‘Father of Lions’, George’s passion to return captive lions to the wild continues to inspire our charity. His impact on the world, and the work we do on your behalf, is immeasurable, and we dedicate this newsletter to his memory.
Our cherished Co-Founder Dame Virginia McKenna remembers him:
“Hardly a day passes that I don't think of George Adamson. I will certainly be doing so on his birthday today. It is rare that you meet someone who has a lasting influence on your life. But George - his kindness, humility, wisdom and friendship - is just such a person. So, today, my loving thoughts are with him."

YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT'S LEGAL |
With you by our side, we’re fighting the rising tide of the UK’s cruel wild pet trade.
The UK government MUST improve legislation – please help persuade them to take action. |

To us, each animal counts and you’ve helped rescue a dozen leopards in need over the years. So, if someone knocks your spots off, why not gift them a Leopard Family Adoption for Valentine’s Day?! |
