Community Engagement

Born Free wants to transform attitudes towards wild animal welfare and conservation, and provide communities with the tools to address some of the most pressing issues facing wildlife today.

Through our work, either directly undertaken by our country office teams or through our partners, we reach schools, communities and individuals living alongside some of the world’s most threatened wildlife.
