LIONS OF LYON
In April, we launched our appeal to give Horus, Dadou, Cersei and Thea – the Lions of Lyon – a lifetime home at our big cat sanctuary in Shamwari Private Game Reserve, South Africa. They’d all been rescued from the exotic pet trade. You responded in your thousands and, thanks to you, they were relocated to South Africa in October and are enjoying their new life.

BUSTING THE MYTHS
In the summer, we launched a campaign to expose the myths around trophy hunting. We produced a report explaining why trophy hunting does not benefit local communities or wildlife conservation. More than half a million people signed a petition calling for the UK government to ban the import of hunting trophies, and the government has since launched a consultation where you can have your say.

CHILDREN OF THE REVOLUTION
In July, we launched our new kids magazine Hear the Roar!!, to inspire the next generation to take an active and educated approach to helping wildlife. If you know any budding conservationists, why not tell them about our new Hear the Roar kids club, too? And look out for Issue 2 of Hear the Roar!! in the new year.
