Trophy hunting is NOT conservation. New decisions at CoP20 affecting lions and leopards have been accepted. Whilst positive these still do not address the issues surrounding trophy hunting and fuelling demand for trade. #conservation #bantrophyhunting #saveanimals

We now celebrate 83 wild-born calves who exist because we rescued their mothers years ago. Nasalot (seen here with baby Nala and Nusu), was one such elephant orphaned by tragedy, now raising her family in the wild.

Happy National Cat Day from Minka and Ocelot (previously shared on PostNews) #WhiskersWednesday #JustForFun #Cats #CatsofBluesky #VideoVignette 📽️ 🎵 Staying Here, Kikoru (Epidemic Sound)

Watching wild herds approach our orphan units reminds us why this work matters. These elephants know Umani Reintegration Unit is a safe haven. They bring their calves, browse peacefully nearby, and sometimes mingle with our orphans – a beautiful testament to the trust we've built in this landscape.

I had a horrific panic attack today. One of the worst in months or maybe even years. I thought I’d like to just explain what it feels like to normalize it for everybody else out there who suffers for anxiety, depression or similar. Be kind to each other

Orphans who have overcome the greatest trauma grow into the most nurturing elephants. Lualeni was no exception; she took younger orphans under her wing and, when she went wild in Tsavo, became renowned for ‘kidnapping’ the orphans! This year Lualeni introduced us to her third child, Luki (here)!

Our bond with cats – which has seen them go from hunter to house pet – may be more diverse than with any other animal. And Jerry D. Moore's Cat Tales: A history rounds up the lot, says Bethan Ackerley

Bonobos transformed how we think about animal societies. Can we save the last of the ‘hippy apes’?

Happy #Caturday from Minka, the kitty who wriggled her way out of an annual vet appointment this week by overpowering two adults trying to get her in a carrier. Be strong like Minka, my friends. #Cats #PetPics

It was a challenging operation: Over the course of five hours, we slowly shepherded the bulls 15 kilometres across heavily populated areas, winding through farms, schools, and homesteads. Patience and persistence paid off — both elephants made it safely back to the National Park.

Zigi seizing an opportunity to bug Lenny! Initially, Lenny was determined to ignore him, but the younger bull tailed him, pulled his ears, and made himself such a nuisance that he had to engage. The antics even caught Kapei's attention - and he usually can't be bothered with baby play!
