WE ARE BORN FREE:
INTERNATIONAL WILDLIFE & CONSERVATION CHARITY
We are a wildlife conservation charity that’s passionate about wild animal welfare and Compassionate Conservation.
Founded by Virginia McKenna, Will Travers and Bill Travers, we work tirelessly to stop the exploitation and suffering of individual animals living in captivity or in the wild. From the start, we’ve campaigned for a future where animals and people can co-exist and where threatened and endangered species are protected for generations to come.
URGENT APPEAL: END WILDLIFE CONFLICT
Animals are dying because of human-wildlife conflict – we need your help to end this.
Conflict between the eight billion humans on our planet and its wildlife is growing at a devastating pace. Wild animals are being injured and tormented every day, and all too often it ends in tragedy on both sides.
We can end human-wildlife conflict, but only with your help.
