2009
2009 is a very special year, the Born Free Foundation’s Silver Anniversary. It is 25 years since Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers established the Foundation, following their starring roles in the classic film ‘Born Free’. Today, led by their son Will, Born Free is a dynamic international wildlife charity, devoted to conservation and animal welfare.
Born Free Photographs
To mark our 25th Anniversary, international wildlife charity the Born Free Foundation in conjunction with The Black and White Galleries, has released to the public a back catalogue of unique photographs for the first time.
The photos feature an eclectic mix of subjects and are taken by a wide variety of photographers. Born Free would like to thank them for their kind permission for their use.

Art exhibition

Artist Anne Corless has been invited to show her artwork at The Royal Opera Arcade (ROA) Gallery in Pall Mall, London.
There will be a Preview Evening on Tuesday 8th September.
About the exhibition, Anne writes: “I hope my exhibition will be a celebration of the wonders of Africa; its people, its animals, its scenery...and of charities such as the Born Free Foundation, who are dedicated to the task of helping its peoples and its animals.”
Anne has kindly offered to donate part of the proceeds from the sale of each piece of artwork to Born Free. There will also be a silent auction at the end of the exhibition of one of Anne’s paintings and all the proceeds of this sale will go to Born Free too.
