3. David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya
The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is considered the most successful elephant and rehabilitation rescue in East Africa. Unfortunately, these majestic creatures are still widely poached, along with their not-too-distant-cousin the Black Rhino, endangering both species. This rescue’s “Orphan’s Project” works to reintegrate orphans back into the wild in Tsavo.

5. The Kangaroo Sanctuary
A lima bean – that is the size of a baby Joey when born. The Kangaroo Sanctuary is 90 acres of bushland home to 25 kangaroos. All lovingly cared for by Chris ‘Brolga’ Barns, the star of Kangaroo Dundee by AGB films. He hopes to build the first wildlife hospital in Central Australia on the grounds of this sanctuary.

6. International Animal Rescue
Literally meaning “person of the forest,” orangutans are rapidly losing their rainforest habitat to make way for community growth, farming, and industrial modernization. The International Animal Rescue (IAR) aims to rescue and rehabilitate orangutans stolen from their mothers, locked in captivity, or otherwise displaced.

Our team are working hard to care for baby Budi who has suffered terrible neglect. When we rescued him he had tears in his eyes and could not even sit up by himself. He cries out in pain when our vets have to move him to feed or care for him. Please text BUDI10 £10 to 70070 to donate £10 for Budi’s care. #babyanimals #animalrescue #orangutan #love #care #animalsaddict @animals A photo posted by International Animal Rescue (@iarorangutanrescue) on
