Born Free joined Badger Trust and hundreds of supporters to call for an immediate end to the badger cull.

Welcome relief for badgers, but more still must be done to end the cull.

Join us in London on Tuesday 3rd September to call on the new Government to #KillTheCull

A new study published in the prestigious nature journal Scientific Reports has undermined the very premise on which badger culling has operated for the past 11 years.

Born Free is deeply concerned about cuts to the Metropolitan Police’s wildlife crime unit, at the forefront of the fight against illegal trafficking as well as crimes against wildlife across the London area.

Born Free joined thousands of people at the Restore Nature Now rally in central London, to urge political leaders to take action to tackle the UK’s wildlife crisis. Our Head of Conservation Dr Nikki Tagg reports.

By writing to your local prospective parliamentary candidates, you can show the UK’s political parties that their stance on nature will influence our votes.

Against the advice of its own Director of Science, Natural England has issued 26 new badger culling licences.

Born Free is ready to ensure that wildlife protection and the welfare of animals are given a high priority through the election campaign.

A coalition of environmental groups including Born Free today sent representatives to meet with Tim Farron MP, Liberal Democrat frontbench spokesperson for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, and deliver the ‘Nature 2030 Open Letter’, signed by over 100,000 people across the country.
