    Thanks to all for this news. I know it is a team effort carried out by a coalition of the willing. It is also one of my mother, Virginia’s, abiding dreams. @BornFreeFDN @NickyAACampbell @rickygervais @PeterEgan6 @DeborahMeaden @BellaLack @oliviamandle

    Two monkey babies survive floods. They care for each other with hugs while patiently waiting for food. Thanks to this kind heart attached to that hand provided them milk. Kindness brings out the best. 🙏🪄

    Very strange when some in society defend the right to bear arms while others threaten the right to peaceful protest. It's a mad world @BellaLack @ChrisGPackham @dodo @Katie_Cleary

    My mum, Dame Virginia McKenna (93), was in The Disappearance with your marvellous Dad many years ago. What an actor. What a gentleman. I have just let her know the news. She sends her wishes to you and all the family, and sincere condolences. Wx

    With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more

    My Friends. At last. An end to use of #wild #animals in the #Circus - my first effort with @BornFreeFDN colleagues to achieve this was 1994. It took 25 years! Thank you for all the help and support. Share please! W

    This is where my Dad lies. He left this world on this day 26 years ago. His body that is. But his spirit is strong and present and free! He inspires me to make a better world. @BornFreeFDN @BornFreeUSA @PeterEgan6 @NickyAACampbell @rickygervais @ChrisGPackham @BellaLack Wx

    He would have been 96 today. My Dad. Husband, father, brother, grandfather, soldier, writer, actor, film-maker, campaigner and conservationist. His presence is all around, and his vision for a better world inspires us today and everyday! @BornFreeFDN @BornFreeUSA

    A #Dame for all Reasons. A long time coming. It’s now, officially, #DameVirginiaMcKenna, recognised for services to compassionate conservation & wild animal welfare. As she says, it’s really for the @bornfreefoundation @BornFreeUSA team & all our caring supporters worldwide. RT

    #RedApe These little guys DESERVE a future. What are the leaders we elect doing about it? Not one inch more forest needs to be cut. Not one ounce more #PalmOil. We are destroying what is left of the natural world! #TimeToSayEnough @BornFreeFDN
