Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, we've called for the curbing of wildlife trade and closure of live animal markets. So we welcome news that international bodies are now recommending some suspensions and market closures, while urging them to go further: bit.ly/3ac71bW

We are sad to report that our beloved Jerry has passed away. Rescued from a barren zoo in 2001, Jerry spent 14 wonderful years being cared for by the team at our big cat sanctuary in South Africa, who will miss him very much. Read our tribute to Jerry: bit.ly/2NOZFmR

#Giraffe in #captivity. There is so much to be concerned about, as this new @BornFreeUSA report explains. Giraffe have a future - but I believe it is in the wild! RT if you agree! @PeterEgan6 @ChrisGPackham @BellaLack @horton_official @NickyAACampbell @GabyRoslin @BornFreeUSA

Today, on the 7th anniversary of the death of #Marius, we have released a report highlighting the plight of the more than 800 giraffe in European zoos. Environmental restrictions. Social deprivation. Stereotypic behaviours. Giraffe should not be captive: bit.ly/3d3igWe

COVID-19 has transformed our world. But unless we change our ways, another pandemic will happen again. As an essential first step, wildlife markets must close. We must act. Now. Watch our film to find out why when we protect them all, we protect ourselves: bit.ly/3ifmWJm
