Plus, find out how you can take action for nature
Hello John,
June is a special and emotional month at Born Free, as we celebrate the 93rd birthday of Dame Virginia McKenna. We’re sure you will join us in wishing our inspiring Co-Founder the happiest of birthdays.
An internationally acclaimed stage and screen actress, author, poet and wildlife campaigner, Virginia was voted one of the most inspirational people of all time in a Daily Telegraph poll. She’s had a dazzling career, yet her passion to help wild animals in need never ends, not least to highlight those exploited in captivity.
Our love and respect, dear Virginia. Working with you is an honour!
MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!
MARCH WITH US
You’re invited to join Born Free and thousands of others on Saturday 22 June as we take to the streets of London, with more than 150 other wildlife and environmental organisations, in support of our country’s nature.

You can report it
A huge amount of distressing animal cruelty is circulated online, especially on social, so we’re part of a coalition encouraging people to take action. In May, ‘Report It’ week sent a clear message this unacceptable abuse must end.

Not just tigers
At Born Free, we’re all about umbrellas – species that is! Did you know, by securing a safe future for India’s tigers, we also protect other animals in their forest ecosystem, including rare pangolins and vultures!
