KICKING OFF THE NEW YEAR WITH IMPACT |
Hi John,
Happy New Year! Wishing you and your loved ones a wild and wonderful 2023.
The New Year may have just begun but, thanks to YOUR support, Born Free has hit the ground running. From the ultimate accolade for our beloved Co-Founder Virginia McKenna, to long-legged twin giraffes in Kenya, we already have much to celebrate, and we're hitting the ground running with lots of exciting news to start the year! |
CONGRATULATIONS VIRGINIA! |
We’re overjoyed. Our very own wildlife champion and queen of compassion, Virginia McKenna, has been awarded a damehood in the 2023 New Year Honours, for her work in Wild Animal Welfare and Compassionate Conservation. |
|
THANKS FOR LOVING LIONS ❤️🦁 |
Your gifts to our Saving Lions Together appeal are adding up. To our pride, you’ve already raised some £50,000 for lion care and conservation. But, there’s still time to help us reach our goal of £70,000! |

|
Five new cubs have been spotted in Meru, Kenya. All your support of our Year of the Lion has truly paid off. And how fitting, they’re part of the Virginia Pride – named in honour of our own lioness! |
|
With just 16,000 remaining, each reticulated giraffe counts. So, imagine our joy when our Kenya team reported rare new twins in Meru, where your adoptions help to look after them. |
|
Hundreds of you voted to name our orphan pangopup before Christmas, with Nguindolo (‘forest spirit’) the resounding 51% winner. Adopters provide his 24/7 care in Central Africa Republic. |
|
|
Did you know you also help rescue UK wildlife? Born Free funds rescue centres nationwide, including a new incubator for Baby Beaks Garden Bird Rescue. |
|
Hundreds of you joined our Beyond Trophy Hunting public discussion to explore alternatives to trophy hunting, at London’s Royal Geographical Society in December.
|
|
With your support, our team called for transformative change to stop biodiversity loss, at the UN’s crucial COP15 summit in Montreal, Canada, just before Christmas.

|
Learn about the vital role lions play in their savannah habitat in our incredible new film, Lions for Life, produced as part of our free educational resources.

We told you January had been busy already! Let’s resolve to make 2023 the best year ever for wild animals. Together, let’s do everything we can to bring about more compassion, less exploitation and more respect for the natural world.
From, your friends at Born Free |
