Elephants (benefiting campaign)
http://www.bornfree.org.uk/campaigns/elephants/
Cause: Opposes the capture of wild elephants for zoos

There’s something special about elephants.  It’s not just their immense size, incredible trunk, great ears and magnificent tusks … elephants are gentle, intelligent, loving and loyal.  They deserve our special care.  Sadly elephants face many threats … both in the wild and in captivity.

Born Free protects wild elephants and their habitat in Africa and Asia, fights the brutal ivory trade, cares for orphaned calves, opposes the capture of wild elephants for zoos, and campaigns against exploitation.

Big Cats (benefiting campaign)
http://www.bornfree.org.uk/campaigns/big-cats/
Cause: Liberating big cats from cages to sanctuaries

Born Free rescues individual lions, tigers and leopards from tiny cages and gives them lifetime care at sanctuaries, funds major lion and tiger conservation projects and fights hunting big cats for ‘sport’.

The grace, strength and beauty of big cats holds a special fascination.  Intelligent, powerful and agile, big cats are skilled hunters who rely on stealth, camouflage and lightning-speed reactions.  But many big cats are endangered and sadly the main threat is human activity.  Big cats are killed for their beautiful fur and body parts, their homes are destroyed, and captive animals are exploited in zoos and circuses.

Zoo Check (benefiting campaign)
http://www.bornfree.org.uk/campaigns/zoocheck/
Cause: Challenges the Captive Animal Industry

Throughout the world, millions of animals are kept captive for our entertainment.  Whether in zoos, circuses, animals shows or marine parks, wild animals suffer physically and mentally from the lack of freedom that captivity imposes. 

Born Free believes such confinement and exploitation should be a thing of the past.

Carbon Offsetting (benefiting campaign)
http://www.bornfree.org.uk/campaigns/further-activities/carbon-offsetting/
Cause: Environmental/Humanitarian

Born Free Carbon offsetting

Taking action against climate change:
Thanks to a joint venture between Born Free and the Bill Woodley Mount Kenya Trust, harmful carbon emissions associated with air travel can be offset by funding the reafforestation of the Mount Kenya National Reserve.  This important tropical forest has suffered heavy degradation in recent years.  An important habitat for wildlife, Mount Kenya is a World Heritage site and a critical water catchment area, providing millions of Kenyans with water.

Bluebo is proud to be supporting this forest regeneration project.
