🚨 It’s not too late to take ACTION. Last week, the house passed H.R. 845, a bill that would strip protections for gray wolves and block the public from challenging it in court. It now heads to the Senate. Call your Senators and urge them to vote NO: www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm

Forget searching under the tree - the orphaned elephants know the best Christmas surprises are hidden in Keeper pockets! Snacks, cuddles, and the promise of a second chance. Merry Christmas from our herd to yours.

The trifecta of sugar, low moisture ingredients and some high-proof spirits make fruitcakes some of the longest-lasting foods in the world (from 2021)

The misunderstood fruitcake has a magnificent shelf life -- and history
To the Romans, it was the original energy bar.

Our journalists are joining nearly 40 scientists on an expedition to Antarctica’s fastest-melting glaciers. Getting there will require taking a helicopter over icy seas.

Elephants go through six sets of teeth in a lifetime. One-year-old Lenny is putting his first set to good use – stripping branches, testing what that growing can do.

He wouldn't be here without you. We rescued his mum, Lima Lima, as an orphan.

Cedar and Rowan have joined the Exhibit Pack! More details to come in our upcoming Exhibit Pack Update video on YouTube. The pack is doing great with the pups. Introducing new pups is not a one-day process; it can take weeks or even months before they are fully integrated into the pack.

Last weekend, we hosted a fall harvest-themed enrichment for the wolves. We stuffed gourds with meat, feathers, and other items. They were very engaged. Check out the full Exhibit Pack Update on our YouTube channel. Don't forget to subscribe! The link is in our LinkTree.

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Because I ate it for lunch.

Always good to see a fellow cat appear on #DuvetKnowItsChristmas - for any of my friends that haven't seen it before, it's shepherded by @rhodri.biz and sees people sharing pictures of their temporary sleeping arrangements while visiting family or friends on Christmas Eve. It's a delight x
So excited to be able to join in for the first time since discovering #DuvetKnowitsChristmas as I’m in my spare/junk room with 4 cats as my mum is in my bedroom. @rhodri.biz

’Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even… an elephant! Thanks to our supporters, Kenya’s orphaned elephants always have a place to call home. We want to thank you for supporting our conservation work – this year and always.

Germany has permanently ended fur farming after closing its final remaining operations, making the practice illegal nationwide. The move ensures that animals such as mink and foxes can no longer be bred or confined for fur production, addressing long standing concerns over animal welfare.
