Yes, I want to make a lasting difference to wild animals around the world.

For 40 years Born Free has been a voice for wild animals. Thanks to your help, we’ve achieved so much, but sadly there is still more to be done. Today wild animals are imprisoned in zoos, hunted for their body parts, and struggling to survive in habitats that are under threat due to the growing climate crisis.

With your support, we can continue to protect wild animals and their habitats around the world.

Your loyal, generous support is a large part of why I am always optimistic, always hopeful. Thank you for all you do to support our efforts for wild animals in need.
