BLACK RHINO CALF ARRIVAL 🦏✨

The Rhino and Elephant Conservation Project in Zimbabwe has welcomed an adorable female black rhino calf named Churu!

Churu’s birth is incredibly special. Her father, Gomo, whose name means “big rock,” was tragically lost to poaching in April. In his honour, this little one has been named Churu, meaning “little rock” — a beautiful tribute to his memory ❤️

ILLEGAL WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING RESCUE ALERT🚨

Peru Wildlife Sanctuary has just taken in over 150 wild animals from multiple trafficking raids. One of the largest single rescues was over 100 animals from a raid where the second biggest illegal wildlife trafficker in the country was caught!

Among the rescued were sloths, opossums, agoutis, frogs, snakes, lizards, and a kinkajou, with many arriving injured and highly stressed.

With no other facilities like Peru Wildlife Sanctuary in their region, the team worked around the clock to provide urgent medical care and build new enclosures. Thanks to these efforts, 42 animals have already been released, and more are on the way back to the wild 🌿

The sanctuary remains committed to rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing every animal they can 🙏

Happy World Chimpanzee Day! 🌍

Today, we honour chimpanzees and shine a light on the urgent need to protect them.

Her legacy lives on through vital projects like Chimp Eden, The Great Gorilla Project, and the Ultimate Wildlife Tour in Uganda, where our volunteers are helping protect chimps in the wild and in sanctuaries 🙌

How you can help today:

✔️ Donate or adopt a chimp
✔️ Raise awareness using
✔️ Choose ethical products
✔️ Say NO to pet/entertainment chimps
✔️ Volunteer with us and make a real impact
