TIGERS IN CRISIS

Is there a future for wild tigers? Poached, persecuted, exploited.... tigers need YOUR help!

Driven to the edge of extinction in the wild through poaching, human conflict, loss of habitat and reduction in prey, farmed in their thousands for body parts, and still exploited in zoos, circuses and as exotic pets, the tiger’s world is in turmoil.

We need to protect tigers. We MUST do more.

YOUR help will make the difference to conserving this magnificent species for generations to come.

DANGEROUS WILD ANIMALS: WHO LIVES NEXT DOOR?

New research by Born Free has revealed nearly 4,000 dangerous wild animals are being kept privately, and legally, under licence in Great Britain under the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976, including at least 320 wild cats, 274 primates and 508 venomous snakes.

With exotic pets on the rise in Britain, you could be living next door to some of the world’s deadliest creatures.

As part of our campaign on this issue we've launched a new petition, in collaboration with the RSPCA, calling on the Government to review and reform laws on the private keeping of Dangerous Wild Animals.

PROTECT THEM. PROTECT US.

COVID-19 has transformed our world. We’ve had to radically change how we live to save lives. But, this is just a short-term fix.

Unless we change our ways, another pandemic will happen again. As an essential first step, wildlife markets must close. We must learn. We must re-educate ourselves. We must act. Watch our new short film to find out why when we protect them all, we protect ourselves.

WE ARE BORN FREE

We’re an animal 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.
