Join me this Wednesay evening at 6:30 PM as my guest, Adam M. Roberts, Executive Vice President of Born Free USA and I will be discussing who and what Born Free USA is and what they have accomplished and will continue to fulfill on behalf of wild animals in the world.
One of the major success stories of 2012 was the largest transfer of macaque monkeys and a baboon in history from a defunct wildlife sanctuary to Born Free USA, both located in Texas. All of the monkeys are doing fine. I had written about how they executed this successful transfer in an earlier article.
This is only one of the many campaigns and programs in which Born Free USA is absorbed. Born Free USA is enmeshed into four major categories: Animals in Entertainment, Exotic “Pets”, International Trade in Wildlife, and Trapping and Fur.
Tonight, we will focus on their endeavors in 2012 and look ahead to 2013 to see what’s in store for this worldwide organization.
Born Free is a nationally recognized leader in animal welfare and wildlife conservation. Born Free USA was the vision of the UK-based Born Free founded in 1984 by Will. Will is the son of Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna (married in real life) who starred in the movie “Born Free.” Born Free was made in Kenya and this is where Will and his parents lived and all dedicated their lives to wildlife issues due to the making of this film.
Will Travers, Bill and Virginia’s son, is the President of Born Free USA. Their mission is to end the suffering of wild animals in captivity, conserve threatened and endangered species and encourage compassioniate conservation globally.
They immerse themselves in work in several countries on behalf of wild animals.
A must-see show!
