Pata Zoo seeks to renew its licence. Only Thailand's DNP can stop this. If the DNP deny the licence, the zoo will have no choice but to close its doors. Please, DNP, do the right thing & give Bua Noi her chance at freedom.

Now, more than ever, we need your support. Kaavan is the tip of the iceberg and Billy is very important to us but our work continues on a daily basis around the world, but particularly in Ukraine where animals in captivity have been abandoned in the wake of war, left to starve.
'He is completely alone and elephants are some of the most social creatures on the planet.'
@cher
and
@ftwglobal
are now hoping to save Billy the elephant from the LA zoo who at 38 years old has spent nearly his entire life there.
The results of Lucy's assessment will be ready in early March! The experts are finalising their reports as we speak. Once the reports are in, we'll meet with the zoo to discuss Lucy's case in full. Stay tuned for updates!
