We Are Born Free
International wildlife charity rescuing and protecting wild animals from exploitation, and conserving threatened species and their natural habitats for generations to come.
Bring Them Home – Massaï and Alakay Appeal
Both born in captivity – Massaï the circus, and Alakay a zoo – these two beautiful lions have never known a wild life. After years of exploitation, now, finally, there is hope. You can help us bring Massaï and Alakay to their ancestral homeland, at our Shamwari Big Cat Sanctuary. Every donation will help give them a better future, free from exploitation.
