Deschu- My 1st trip to Africa was to Tanzania; it was life changing. The vast plains of the Serengeti & the beauty of Ngorongoro blew me away. This lion was sleeping under a tree watched by 3 nervous giraffes. I could not get over his size & the aura of power emanating from him

[Uthingo Foundation @uthingofoundat1]

Amazing step forward!! Very excited to see what happens next!

Just because #InternationalCheetahDay has come and gone it doesn’t mean we should stop raising awareness and respecting them!

On #InternationalCheetahDay, we encourage you to take some time to learn more about this vulnerable species, what threats Cheetah face, and what is being done to save one of Africa's most iconic cats. Want to contribute towards Cheetah conservation? Visit: https://t.co/gxcWboPyCo

Poaching has devastating impact on the natural world. For example, at current rates, some elephant populations could be extinct in the wild by 2025.

Protecting animals against poaching involves working with the people on the front line of conservation, including rangers👇

A great graphic to highlight the complex relationships between different trophies levels. This is why ecosystem balance is essential and this is what Uthingo wants to achieve and teach

Communication is the key to success in raising awareness for big cat conservation

[United for Wildlife @united4wildlife]

Big cats are poached because of a demand for their skin, furs, teeth, bones & claws.

We can all help stop the demand for illegal wildlife products by making our friends & family aware of the problem.

Watch the video 👇 to learn how you can help stop the illegal wildlife trade.

[United for Wildlife @united4wildlife]

Many species of big cats are threatened by the illegal wildlife trade.

Big cats include Lions, Cheetahs, Leopards, Tigers and Jaguars. 🦁🐆🐯

Our focus this week is on how the illegal wildlife trade is threatening big cats around the world.

There’s much more to rhinos than just their horns🦏 Thanks to Dr Ivana Cinkova, a researcher in rhino communication, for making this video for The Uthingo Foundation. Feel free to ask any questions & we’ll put them to the experts

Lycaon pictus has many names in English, from 'African wild dog’ to ‘painted wolf'. We take a look into the background of this endangered animal's many English names.
