How our supporters helped wild animals in July

Every month, our supporters make it possible for us to respond when wild animals need us most. In July, the kindness of donors like you helped provide emergency care, protect vulnerable wildlife and support long-term conservation projects across Africa and Asia. Here's what that support helped achieve.

Laos – Vientiane

Giving Pepsi the pangolin a second chance at life

We launched an appeal to help Pepsi, a critically endangered Sunda pangolin rescued as he was about to be turned into rice wine. Thousands of pangolins are trafficked in Asia each year to supply the illegal wildlife trade, where the animals are killed for their scales, meat and steeped in alcohol for sale in bars and restaurants.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we helped our partner, Laos Conservation Trust for Wildlife (LCTW), provide Pepsi with the specialist veterinary care, rehabilitation and round-the-clock support he needs to recover.

Every rescued pangolin represents hope for one of the world's most heavily trafficked mammals. Thank you for helping give Pepsi a second chance.

South Africa – Limpopo

Giving rescued leopard cub Mohli a brighter future

In July, we appealed for support for Mohli, a young leopard cub rescued after being found abandoned, starving and fighting for survival in South Africa. She is now receiving expert care at our partner, Indlulamithi Big Cat Sanctuary, where she has been given the chance to grow strong in a safe environment.

While we didn't reach our full fundraising target, thanks to the kindness of our supporters, we were still able to make a donation towards Mohli's care and rehabilitation. Every contribution helps provide nutritious food, veterinary treatment and care for an orphaned wild animal who needs all the help she can get to survive her traumatic start to life, and one day thrive in the wild, where she belongs.

We are grateful to everyone who helped give this magnificent big cat a brighter future.

Kenya – Tsavo West National Park

Bringing life-saving water to wild animals of Tsavo

This month, we once again appealed to help create a vital water source for wildlife in Kenya's Tsavo West National Park, where prolonged drought has left elephants, rhinos, lions and countless other animals struggling to find water.

Thanks to our donors’ outpouring of support, we have raised the funds needed for this lifesaving project. Our partner, Mwalua Wildlife Trust, will now begin work to create the water pan and provide a permanent and reliable source of clean water to sustain wildlife throughout the harsh dry seasons.

This project will provide lasting benefits for thousands of wild animals for many years to come, helping them survive water scarcity – one of the greatest threats they face.
