Take Action

OUR CAMPAIGNS

Our high-profile campaigns take effective action and provide animals with a voice. We capture the public imagination, change attitudes, inform and persuade decision-makers, and get results.

Whether it’s fighting the commercial trade in and trafficking of wild animals, seeking an end to trophy hunting, or challenging the exploitation of wild animals in zoos and circuses, Born Free takes action on the front line for animals.
