Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

The future of Kenya's wildlife rests with the children growing up alongside it. Our teams visit schools and host field trips, sharing lessons about conservation and the environment. By teaching young students about their wild neighbours, we empower them to become the next Guardians of the Wild.

We live in a fast-paced world where being busy can be seen as a badge of honour. There's no doubt that, behind the scenes, our Nursery is a hive of activity (milk bottles don't mix themselves!) yet the orphans remind us what truly matters: spending time with family, and taking a moment to rest.
