UNPROTECTED. UNLICENSED. SOON TO BE ILLEGAL. Born Free’s latest findings reveal a deeply worrying truth: hundreds of people in England could soon be breaking the law - and thousands of primates may be at risk. In just 10 weeks, new legislation will require anyone keeping a monkey, marmoset or other primate as a ‘pet’ in England to hold a valid licence. Without one, keeping a primate will be illegal and could result in serious penalties. But despite the law being announced nearly a year ago, our

🦁 Remember Simba, the rescued lion? Four years ago, we launched an appeal to build him a purpose‑built home - and you responded instantly. So… what happened next? You’ll be glad to hear that Simba is thriving in his brand‑new enclosure at our partner sanctuary in Animanatura Wild Sanctuary in Italy. His spacious 5,000‑square‑metre habitat gives him the freedom to roam, explore and play. It features a hanging ball, large fallen trunks and elevated platforms - everything a lion like Simba deserve

Approximately 3,600 cetaceans - whales, dolphins and porpoises - languish in captivity across the world, yet the overwhelming majority of experts agree that these highly intelligent and socially complex animals are totally unsuited to life in a tank. 💔 It’s time to go #TankFree. Stand with us today to oppose the keeping of cetaceans in captivity. Together we will show the global travel and tourism industry that captive suffering and exploitation is not entertainment, and we won't stand for it.

How Bees Are Helping Save Elephants 🐝🐘 At Born Free’s Meru Conservation Area in Kenya, we’re working on innovative ways to help elephants peacefully coexist with people in the local community. Elephants can come into conflict with people if they forage on crops, wiping out a farmer’s source of food and income. But, they have a natural aversion to bees and our ‘beehive fences’ can be an effective solution.🍯 Suspended on wires to enclose a farm, the hives deter elephants from foraging on crops,

🚨 Just 7 days left to speak up for nature! Don’t let the EU dismantle the laws that protect our planet. The European Commission is proposing to roll back vital environmental protections and they’re asking for public input. But behind the talk of “simplification” and “cutting red tape” lies a dangerous truth: this is about weakening the very laws that safeguard nature, wildlife, and our health. European Union (EU) decisions shape the future of wildlife and nature far beyond Europe’s borders. Tha

Over 3,600 whales, dolphins and porpoises are being held in captivity around the world - this suffering needs to stop. Life confined to a tank, for an animal that could swim over 100 miles a day in the wild, is animal cruelty in the name of entertainment, and Born Free is asking for your support to help bring it to an end. The first step towards ending the suffering is showing the tourism industry that we do not want to see cetaceans in captivity - performing tricks, swimming with visitors or po
