Roar For Nature

Seven-year-old Oscar has designed a range of greetings cards for friends and family. “I love all animals large and small and like drawing them. My favourites are pangolins, jaguars, tigers, lions, wolves, foxes, bats, sharks, pufferfish, gorillas, snakes and red-eyed tree frogs. I am giving all my card money to Born Free because I know that they also love animals and care for them.”

Thank you for this lovely picture Leyla.

We would also like to congratulate seven-year-old Harriet for her winning entry to the Hear the Roar!! turtle drawing competition.

My name is Hector and I’m 10 years old. I am an actor and a passionate animal advocate, and am very proud to be Born Free’s first Junior Ambassador! Through this role, I want to show adults that children have a voice to be heard and can be taken seriously. I want to show other young people that we can get involved and actively help make a difference to animals in the UK and around the world.

Six-year-old Finley recently raised over £700 by doing a sponsored bike ride. “I wanted to raise money for wildlife because I saw animals in cages on the TV and that made me sad. The animals should be in the wild where they belong with people looking after them, not hurting them. I want to help more so I am thinking of more challenges to do.”

“I care for our environment, and try to help by teaching others how to live sustainably. It really does affect all of us. My dad and I made a website with lots of weird but useful facts. I sponsor different animals, reuse and recycle goods, and go on litter picks in my local area to help local wildlife. I build bug houses, bird boxes and shelters for local wildlife. At my school, I helped run a hedgehog club. We taught our community how to help care for them during the winter!” Eva, aged 10.
