In the nursery groups at the Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Sanctuary, each orangutan shows unique personality traits 🦧 These early traits influence how they respond to new environments. They learn by observing, trying, and repeating, gradually building the confidence needed for life in the forest 🌱

An update on calf Mimi at Desert Elephants in Namibia 🐘

Mimi is growing fast, looking strong, and keeping up with the herd!

Calf survival has been declining in recent years, which makes updates like this incredibly encouraging. Every sighting and positive report is a reminder of why this work matters and why protecting these elephants is so important 🙌

Today we celebrate Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday 🎉 We couldn’t be more excited to honour the man who inspired generations to care for the natural world 🌿

To celebrate, volunteers at Chimp Eden created a colourful birthday banner alongside special ice-block enrichment treats for the chimpanzees, who wasted no time enthusiastically tearing them apart 😆

6 baby woolly monkeys have just arrived at the Peru Wildlife Sanctuary after being rescued from the illegal pet trade along the Amazon River 🐒

Sadly, their mothers were killed by poachers, and they were found injured and in need of urgent care.

Unfortunately, one did not survive, but the five remaining little ones are now receiving around-the-clock support from the sanctuary’s dedicated veterinary team.

We’re hopeful these tiny survivors will grow stronger each day 🙌

Keep your eyes peeled for more updates 👀

LION LAYISH IS NOW SAFE AT SANWILD 🦁

After being translocated from Tonga Terre D’Accueil (a sanctuary in France), his journey to a new life in South Africa is complete!

Before his rescue, Layish spent 4 years confined to a trailer as part of the circus industry. Today, that chapter is behind him.

Following a long journey, he has been released into a holding enclosure, where he’ll begin to settle into his new surroundings. In time, he’ll be introduced to Mel, another rescued lion, with the hope that they will form a companionship in their forever home.

This incredible rescue was only made possible thanks to the dedication and partnership of SanWild, Tonga Terre d’Accueil, and One Voice.

Our volunteers were there to witness this special moment, and we couldn’t be more grateful to see Layish back on African soil, where he truly belongs 🌿
