We're devastated to announce that Dolo has passed away following a short illness. He was kept on a 1m chain for years, so restrictive that it rubbed off his mane. After he was rescued in 2007, he spent every day happily snoozing in the sunshine. Thank you for changing his life.
We’re absolutely delighted that from today wild animals can no longer be used in travelling circuses in England. We’ve been campaigning for a ban for more than 20 years and are thrilled that outdated acts like this will now be confined to the history books. #EnglandCircusBan
Born Free is delighted that our very own lioness, Co-Founder of Born Free Virginia McKenna OBE, has been made a Dame in recognition of her work for Wild Animal Welfare and Compassionate Conservation in the New Year Honours List 2023! 🎉🦁

TRUTH: Little of the money hunters pay to kill reaches the local community. #Wildlife tourism can generate far higher revenue and wages than trophy hunting.

We're so sad to announce the passing of rescued lioness Cora, just weeks after losing her sister Alpha.💔
We are proud to have brought Cora back to her ancestorial home and help give her the love and care she deserved in her final years.

Safia was kept alone and chained in a wooden shack. She suffered injuries when children threw rocks at her. Rescued by Born Free, she now lives at our Ensessa Kotteh Wildlife Rescue, Conservation & Education Centre in Ethiopia. #10YearChallenge#KeepWildlifeInTheWild 🦁
Happy birthday to our co-founder, Virginia McKenna OBE! We can't thank you enough for all the incredible work you've done for wildlife conservation since starting Born Free 35 years ago. 🎂 #KeepWildlifeintheWild
This is what it's all about, the moment the Lions of Lyon are finally introduced to their new, spacious and natural enclosure. @ShamwariSafari #LionsofLyon
The UK is now home to three zoos with solitary elephants.
Elephants in the wild, particularly females, do not live alone and every solitary elephant is a victim of the zoo industry.
We need to phase out the keeping of elephants in UK zoos, now 👇 (1/7)
