Long read on the ethics of keeping great apes in captivity, triggered by @BornFreeFDN's report. Second half of the article is my reflections on 50 years of meeting apes in zoos all over the world, as well as in their natural habitat. Do post your views... https://t.co/2DeclijR01

Experts, conservationists and celebrities are calling for an urgent phase-out of great apes in zoos, and urge the public not to visit attractions which exploit our closest cousins for profit

I've loved art & nature since I was a child.The wonders of both lift me from despair at our destructiveness.They give me hope and hope is our strength. I hope the children's drawings I post bring a little joy and wonderment at the beautiful species we share our planet with ππ

Forty years working for wildlife and now this. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. This will put ALL rhino in the wild, and those who try to protect them, at greater risk as a result of a misguided, ill-informed and dangerous policy. @ChrisGPackham @domdyer70 @BellaLack RT
South Africa has unveiled a draft plan to reopen international rhino horn trade which could spell disaster for rhinos. We're extremely concerned by the proposals and will urge the South African government to rethink. Help us speak up for rhinos π https://t.co/FUPeLFiAaW
