Exciting news from Mangochi Forest Reserve in Malawi – a leopard has been caught on camera trap! A small population has managed to survive in this mountainous terrain - one that we hope to supplement with translocations to Liwonde National Park later this year.

Sad news emerging from Botswana as it's announced 46 rhinos have been slaughtered there in the last 10 months. That's just under 10% of their total rhino population

"The increase in poaching of both the black and white rhino is of concern and unusual".

Big Tim, one of Kenya's last giant tuskers, has died aged 50 of natural causes.

"Tim was a special elephant. He was so incredibly intelligent, mischievous, yes, but also a truly gentle giant and in that way a real ambassador for his species."

9.5 TONNES of pangolin scales have been seized from a warehouse in Lagos.

That's roughly 9500 dead pangolins - the most trafficked animal in the world AND our only scaled mammal. All 8 species of pangolin are now at risk of extinction.

Honoured to be featured as one of the @NatGeo Women of Impact, although it always feels a bit fraudulent as none of this would be possible without the whole @ruahacarnivores team, local communities & supporters and friends around the world. Thank you all! https://t.co/jyDVodfcZZ

Good news: an elephant calf which was filmed being punched & kicked by drunken revellers in Botswana has found a new home.

The female calf was rescued by Elephants Without Borders & adopted into a new herd within a sanctuary.
