At Wangat Lodge in New South Wales, Australia, visitors can explore 50 acres of protected sub-tropical rainforest lands nestled along the Chichester River. Many of these visitors are local artists participating in the lodge’s Gumnut Artist’s Retreat, an opportunity for craftspeople to work in the tranquil forest.

A special update on Jelly, the first to hatch: in just one month, she’s already grown 8 cm and 50 grams in weight! She and her siblings continue to thrive under the care of the shark nannies.
Once grown, these endangered pups will be tagged and released into the protected waters of Raja Ampat.

Our rescued American marten is settling into her forever home and wasting no time exploring. Curious and quick, Syaʔyaʔ is enjoying enrichment made just for her, rose hips tucked into a wreath and blueberries hidden in a tree to encourage natural foraging and problem-solving. ❤️

There’s a new tiger in Tacoma! 🐯 Bintang (“star” in Indonesian), affectionately known as Bini, is a 7-year-old Sumatran tiger now exploring the Asian Forest Sanctuary. He is expected to play a key role in the Species Survival Plan breeding program alongside our female tiger, Mawar. 🐅

Otter pupdate! 💙 Our Asian small-clawed otter pup is growing fast. His eyes are now open, and he weighs 586 grams, right on track for a healthy, curious little otter. Proud first-time parents Pintar and Sebastian continue to do an excellent job caring for their fuzzy male pup behind the scenes.
