None of our rescued animals in permanent care are allowed to breed; we vasectomise males or spay/give hormone implants to females. We do not want to add to captive populations, plus sanctuary space is in short supply, so we keep these precious spaces for animals most needing rescue.

We’ve been celebrating! It’s six years since King arrived at our sanctuary, a scared and vulnerable youngster. He’d been found, alone and malnourished, in a Paris apartment after – unbelievably – his owner posted social media photos of him beating the cub. Thankfully, police immediately investigated, and King was taken in by our friends at Natuurhulpcentrum, in Belgium. He recovered at their wildlife rescue centre, while we made plans to give him a forever home.
Fast forward to today and, with your help, King is a powerful and confident adult, with a lifelong companion in lioness Thea – also kept illegally as a pet in France. King prefers to be up high, with a good view of his surroundings. He’s most often seen lounging on his jungle gym, soaking up the African sun alongside Thea, keeping a watchful eye over everything happening in their extensive bush enclosure and Shamwari’s lush countryside.
In the early morning and evening, King’s heart-stopping roar can be heard echoing around the sanctuary. He never misses a chance to make his presence known, vocally interacting with his rescued lion neighbours. Loud and distinctive, we all know when it’s King roaring! Yet, despite his adult appearance, King still loves to play. He and Thea both enjoy a chase, which usually ends in a wrestle!

TIMTOM’S STORY
Home today: Gradually preparing for life in the wild at Camp Buluh
Background: Taken from her wild mother as a baby and kept illegally as a pet
Rescued: January 2016, aged nine months
Age today: Nine years
DID YOU KNOW?
Of the four nonhuman great apes –gorillas, bonobos, chimpanzees and orangutans – the orange ape is the only one in Asia, with the rest living in Africa. Interestingly, the orangutan has one of the longest childhoods of any animal. Mums care for their young for up to eight years, until they’re ready to be independent in the wild.
Watch this clip of Timtom in the canoe: bit.ly/ timtom-canoe
LATEST NEWS
As Camp Buluh is mostly waterlogged, the main mode of transport for Timtom to reach new areas of forest is by canoe. Timtom has become very comfortable with her canoe rides across the river. So comfortable that she’s started to show a preference for the size of the canoe she wants to ride in. When guiding Timtom into a smaller canoe, she decided to jump over the edge into the larger one! We think she remembers riding in the large one on a previous trip.
However, the fact that Timtom willingly and enthusiastically wants to ride in the canoe and then quickly climbs out when they reach the riverbank, shows that she looks forward to her time spent in the forest. Timtom will forage in the trees for fruit or young leaf shoots, swinging from tree to tree whilst searching. And of course, will have a splash in the river water too – as you know Timtom is fascinated by water.
Encouragingly, she is sometimes left to stay in the forest for several days, under the watchful eye of our camp staff. But, despite repeatedly staying overnight, she continues to sleep on tree branches or in old orangutan nests, rather than build a nest herself. As she is staying longer in the forest, it shows us she is becoming increasingly ready for an independent life in the wild – if only she would finally build a nest. But, with your help, we are certain she will get there eventually.

SPRINGER’S STORY
Home: Living wild as part of British Columbia’s Northern Resident population monitored by OrcaLab, which has studied orca since 1970 and has been supported by Born Free since 1994
Family: 24-year-old Springer gave birth to Spirit in 2013 and Storm in 2017
Background: In 2002, Springer’s mother Sutlej died and she became lost near Seattle, USA. Identified by her unique calls, she was taken 250 miles by boat back to her wild family, the A4 pod, in the waters near OrcaLab
LATEST NEWS
DID YOU KNOW?
Listening to orcas since 1970, OrcaLab is one of the world’s longest-running studies of wild dolphins and whales. Orcas rely on sound to hunt, communicate and travel, and Orcalab’s network of hydrophones and cameras gives a window into their world. They know every orca by name and each family by its unique range of whistles, chirps and clicks!
Watch this clip of orcas using a pebble beach for massage: bit.ly/springer-rubbing
With summer upon us, we awaited the arrival of Northern Resident orcas including the west coast’s most famous orca with eagerness. This population of whales has an expansive range that extends far north into southeast Alaska. How incredible to consider the vastness of this coastline and its myriad waterways!
Springer and her family no doubt readied themselves for a journey southward towards our study area off northeastern Vancouver Island, alongside several other orca families, as they follow the salmon runs down the coast. In recent years, Springer has arrived in mid-to-late July with other members of the A4 pod, her kin. As an orphan, it is lovely to see her comfortable as part of a larger group or travelling with just her babies, the matriarch now of her unit.
Last summer was an anomaly in terms of the orcas’ very late arrival at our part of the coast. It will certainly be interesting to see what unfolds this year, and whether their patterns have shifted. We would be truly thrilled to see Springer’s family. Her story is one of hope and resilience, and has lasted through the years. She certainly holds a dear spot in many peoples’ hearts.

Gopal has moved! He now enjoys a much larger, densely forested enclosure and fully embraces his new surroundings. He hides in the tall grasses and tries to stalk the unsuspecting peacocks that land in his area. He loves his pool, then relaxes under the bamboo groves, before exploring the diverse microhabitats his enclosure offers.
Gopal freely roams his new space, which mimics tigers’ natural habitat in India. Then at night, he has access to his secure den, giving a variety of options and ensuring he is always comfortable and safe. It’s fascinating to see how Gopal’s natural instincts are displayed daily. He is shy and elusive, patrolling the grassy edges of his enclosure, then hiding behind rocky outcrops. Next, he lounges in his bamboo grove, basking in the sun’s warm rays before finding shade for a well-earned nap.
Gopal loves to pay attention to the wild animals that visit his enclosure. Recently, a couple of black-headed ibises and painted storks took up residence close to his main field, catching his keen interest. He would stealthily move along the edges of his enclosure, hiding in the foliage to observe the birds as they searched for food or nesting materials. Thank you for helping care for this remarkable tiger.

The very first animals Born Free rescued were six tigers, in 1987, from a squalid ‘beast wagon’ at Cross Brothers Circus in Kent, UK. We flew them to their spiritual home of India and a 15-acre forest sanctuary in Bangalore. Since then, you’ve helped us rescue 20 tigers – from terrible zoos, circuses, the pet trade or, like Gopal, from wild ‘conflict’ situations.

Since 2021, we have identified nearly 400 of Meru’s giraffes, adding each one to our ID database, to inform our work. But that’s not all. In the past year, our team carried out an incredible 183 foot patrols, walking 337 miles and removing over 500 deadly snares.
LATEST NEWS
In the heart of Kenya’s Meru National Park, reticulated giraffes roam gracefully, their striking patterns making them one of the park’s most iconic residents. Each reticulated giraffe has its own unique pattern which, with your support, helps our field team to identify and monitor individual giraffes.
There are countless stories from the field team of memorable encounters with giraffes. One particularly special incident happened one morning during a regular patrol. The team rounded a corner and suddenly there were several of these gentle animals –usually seen elegantly walking across the horizon or reaching for the tallest leaves – lying down in a group on the floor, relaxing in the midday heat.
Your adoptions have had a significant impact for these gentle giants. Through your funds, our Twiga* Team can carry out regular desnaring patrols, helping reduce the threat of deadly snares set illegally to catch wild animals for meat, and improve living conditions for the giraffes. This support ensures the giraffes have safe spaces to thrive and raise their young in the heart of Meru National Park – thank you!

Home today: Cared for in a spacious rainforest enclosure, at Ape Action Africa’s sanctuary
Family: A large rescued group of Critically Endangered western lowland gorillas, led by the mighty silverback Bobo
Background: Since July 2024, Born Free has supported the care of our new family of adopted gorillas, at this renowned sanctuary
Supported by adopters, Bobo’s family group comprises seven individuals, four males – Bobo, Kibu, Nkamum and Eto’o, and three females – Geri, Avishag and Jasmine. The family is made up of individuals who were trafficked from the wild many years ago and rescued as youngsters. The sanctuary offers them a place to grow up and learn to live with one another in a semi-wild setting.
Silverback gorillas may have a somewhat fearsome reputation, however, for the most part are gentle, curious creatures with a keen awareness of their surroundings and the other animals they encounter. Each year there is a caterpillar season in our forest, where thousands of brightly coloured caterpillars are found on the forest floor, or climbing trees. It’s not unusual to observe the gorillas staring intently at them, or even playing very gently with them!
Every year at Mefou, we welcome pupils from Ecole Jean-Michel Vichard – a primary school supported by Born Free’s Guardians of Dja programme – to visit the sanctuary and learn about great ape conservation and have positive experiences with nature, inspiring the next generation of primate conservationists.

LATEST NEWS
Over the past six months, Amboseli has experienced ample rainfall, good news for your Elephant Family and transforming the region with abundant green vegetation. This has improved the elephants’ health and led to changes in movements, with the EB family venturing from Amboseli into neighbouring Tanzania. We weren’t able to monitor them for some time, so our team were very excited when they recently returned to the Amboseli swamp!
You might have heard that a dispute with Tanzania has arisen over elephant ‘trophy hunting’ (killing elephants for ‘sport’), which Kenya has thankfully banned. Tragically, five males, from other families, have been killed in Tanzania, raising significant concerns. We are doing everything we can to protect Amboseli’s elephants and advocate collaboration between Kenya and Tanzania to safeguard elephants and promote elephant-friendly, sustainable ecotourism, instead of trophy hunting.
DID YOU KNOW?
Amboseli Trust for Elephants was the very first field conservation project Born Free ever supported. Their incredible work is the world’s longest-running wild elephant study and has transformed understanding of behaviour and society. They support important research to this day, not least the news that – just like us – elephants call each other by individual names!
A male member of the EBs called Esau, Edwina’s cousin born in 1990, has been radio-collared to deter hunters and track his movements. He has beautiful long tusks, sought-after by hunters, and data from his movements will help give evidence to show Amboseli elephants are a crossborder population, making their protection a priority for both Kenya and Tanzania. We will keep you updated and are so grateful for your support at this tricky time.

Lion prides are usually led by a single dominant male. However, Elsa’s Pride is special as it has not one, but two dominant males, known as a ‘coalition’. The 16-strong pride is ruled over by the coalition of two seven-year-old brothers named King and General.
Every male lion hopes to take over a pride to gain mating rights, allowing them to pass on their genes into the next generation. King and General took over the pride in January 2022, usurping the previous dominant male: Mfalme. King and General fought hard to take over Elsa’s pride and are now confidently controlling it. Mfalme sustained significant injuries in the fight and hasn’t been sighted in over two years. It is a common occurrence when male lions get older and lose their strength for younger, stronger males to take over their pride.
King and General were born in December 2016. During their lives, they have survived incidents with the deadly wire snares that are a serious issue in Meru National Park, including recently this July. Through the collective effort of Born Free and the Kenya Wildlife Service veterinarian team, the snares were able to be successfully removed, and both King and General continue to be a strong partnership, protecting their pride and ensuring they thrive in the wilderness of Meru National Park.

LATEST NEWS
Kyriakos was found in 2004, with his brother, by a couple of shepherds in a village in northern Greece. For three months they did their best to care for the cubs, before handing them to our experienced staff. Sadly, this means they are so used to human presence they couldn’t survive in the wild and will always rely on our care.
Today, Kyriakos is happy at our sanctuary in Nimfeo village and really enjoyed his pool in the hot summer days. He carried big logs and branches into the water to play with, splashed around, then lay down to keep cool. As temperatures eased in the later afternoon, he became more active and could often be seen running along trying to communicate with the rescued bears in neighboring enclosures! Kyriakos’ favorite treat is fish and, as enrichment, we scatter nuts in his enclosure which keeps him busy until late evening. This time of the year all bears take their anti-parasite medication, which Kyriakos loves as the medicine is offered to him in a big spoon of honey!

We’re taking care of an orphan bear cub named Martha, discovered without her mother in a village. She was chased by some dogs and found shelter in a backyard, until we rescued her. Martha has now entered our rehabilitation programme and we hope she will be released back into the wild next spring. We shall report back!

Ethiopia has as few as 500 wild cheetahs and a big threat is the illegal wildlife trade. To help combat this, it’s vital animals can be swiftly confiscated.
Fasika and Ramadan were very young when rescued from traffickers in 2023, from the Somali region – tied up with rope, malnourished and dehydrated, with various injuries. But, with our world-class care they recovered, becoming so active we needed to ensure they didn’t aggravate their injuries until fully healed! Now ‘teenagers’, they recently moved into their permanent enclosure. They thoroughly enjoy exploring the large new space, and run, chase and play.
Sadly, we recently lost Barega (see box), so have kept a close eye on his companions, Jijiga and Timkat. Happily, this close-knit pair seem to be adapting to their loss. We often see them lounging on their platform, observing all the comings and goings around them.
Meanwhile, sisters Konjo and Choa had some interesting visitors. With the onset of rains, grass has grown lush and green, and a family of wild warthogs, including young piglets, ventured out from the woodland to roam close to their enclosure. At first, Konjo and Choa were unsure about these strange creatures chaotically snuffling about, but now love to watch them from the luxury of their elevated platform! Thank you for helping us care for this wonderful family.

Farewell Barega
We were heartbroken to say goodbye to precious Barega, who died unexpectedly in May. Just a cub when rescued in 2020 with his sister Pollyanna from wildlife traffickers, thankfully, with expert care, the affectionate pair recovered. But, cheetahs are sensitive and we couldn’t make up for all they endured – having been taken from their mother when so young. We were devasted to lose Pollyanna in 2022, and now dearest Barega but, will never forget you both.

Background: After a poaching epidemic in the 1980s, Born Free has been helping Kenya Wildlife Service since 2014 to restore Meru’s wildlife, including rhino, to its former abundance
DID YOU KNOW?
Black and white rhino are actually both grey! So, how do you tell them apart? Look closely. Black rhinos browse on bushes and trees, helped by their hooked upper lips. White rhinos have a more square-shaped lip, adapted to graze on grass.
LATEST NEWS
We are happy to report that, with your help, our cherished rhinos are thriving in their natural habitat in the Rhino Sanctuary within the Meru National Park. Here, heartwarming interactions among family members often unfold.
Gakuya, a dominant male in the Sanctuary, stands as a resilient and nurturing leader. He fiercely protects his kin and continues to reign over the largest swamp in the sanctuary – Mururi swamp. He supports the females within his territory, safeguarding their calves. To date, four calves have thrived under his fatherly protection.
Rhino mothers Tana and Teso also find comfort in Gakuya’s presence. These remarkable females are excellent mothers, with Tana’s latest arrival being just three months old. Their dedication ensures a healthy future for the rhino population in Meru.
Born Free’s vision extends beyond individual rhinos. Thanks to your adoption, essential resources empower the rangers to keep careful watch over these precious animals, directly impacting the wellbeing of the entire Rhino Family. Together, we can safeguard these magnificent creatures for generations to come.

We’ll be in touch with more details soon.

Our support of Sangha Pangolin Project has had a big impact (see Latest News). With the help of their fantastic work and improved law enforcement, they no longer need to rescue orphan pangolins from illegal wildlife trade. So, as Pangolin Family adopters already know, we are moving our support to another pangolin rescue project (see green box below).
LATEST NEWS
Born Free has supported Sangha Pangolin Project since 2016 and adopters have followed the stories of Pangy, Koki, Pengue, Mona and Nguindolo. Along with many others, these five were rescued as pangopups (infant pangolins) and hand-reared with a specially formulated milk, then carefully weaned onto their natural wild diet of insects.
We could then begin the process of ‘soft releasing’ to the wild. Each pangolin was accompanied in the forest by a human protector, who showed them suitable food sources and sleeping locations. Human proximity was gradually reduced and eventually the pangolin was ‘just’ monitored using trail cameras. This process could take over a year.
It is strictly illegal to trade in pangolins and, aided by other larger organisations, local park officials have enforced this so well we no longer need to rescue pangolins. We’ll be on hand to help any pangolin who needs us, but Born Free will now help another project. Thanks for your amazing support!

Age today: Mowgli five and Zeiss ten
Zeiss is doing very well – we get to see him a lot more these days. He used to spend most of his time camouflaged in the trees at the back of his enclosure, but is now enjoying his newlybuilt viewing platform. We’d like to thank you, our precious adopters, for every penny you donate! You helped fund these wooden structures where our rescued cats can exercise natural climbing skills and relax in the sunshine.
Dear Mowgli, our melanistic leopard, is also doing well. He often remains hidden in bushes, but that is okay. We respect his need for privacy and are letting his confidence and trust in us build slowly over time. We mostly monitor him via cameras strategically placed around his enclosure. From the footage we see him happily scent-marking, and trying to stalk birds who land inside his enclosure. We are confident he feels at home and loving his space, he’s just a very private leopard!
In recent weeks, Mowgli has begun to especially trust one of our care team, Vino, who lives on site. Vino reports, “In the evening, when everyone has gone home, Mowgli comes out and let’s me see him. He keeps his distance, but is very calm.” Wonderful news!
