LEOPARDS IN SOUTHERN AFRICA
Leopards are facing increasing pressure in Southern Africa as they venture beyond game reserves in search of food, often targeting livestock such as sheep, pigs, and chickens. This has created significant conflict between these majestic predators and local farming communities.
Free The Wild is proud to partner with the Landmark Foundation to address this human-predator conflict, working to protect both people and leopards. Together, we aim to find sustainable solutions that benefit wildlife and communities alike.

STAND UP FOR CAPTIVE WILDLIFE
Today, 25 Sept 2024, Senator Marty Klyne is advancing Bill S-15, a landmark piece of legislation that seeks to end the future captivity of elephants, great apes, big cats and other large mammals in Canada.
The bill, supported by Free The Wild’s founder Cher and Dr Jane Goodall, focuses on safeguarding these majestic creatures by prohibiting their use in entertainment and ensuring their welfare in the few exceptional cases where captivity may still be permitted.
We need your help! Please join us in amplifying Cher’s message of support by sharing and retweeting her tweet. Together, we can help ensure Bill S-15 passes and create a brighter future for elephants, great apes, big cats in Canada - and hopefully - the rest of the world.
