It’s been a whole year since we put 39 rescued monkeys, kinkajous and coatimundis back in the jungle – and they’re doing great! The ADI team rescued the animals from circuses and the illegal wildlife trade across Peru. We then spent three months constructing full enrichment habitats in the Amazon rainforest for them, where they now live safely within the Pilpintuwasi sanctuary. Some may even be eligible for wild introduction programs in the near future. Knowing that so many of the animals were s

After an epic journey, this is the moment Goliath and Coralie, rescued from a tiny circus cage in France, stepped onto African soil this morning at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary (ADIWS), South Africa. They may not realise it yet, but their lives have been transformed forever, back in the land of their ancestors. They spent a decade in a circus cage but will enjoy the next decade with acres of space at ADIWS. The lions were loaded into their travel cr

MAGICAL MOMENT AS LIONS ARE REUNITED! Brothers Rey and Simba were rescued by ADI together from a circus in Ayacucho, a town high in the Andes mountains in Peru. They were never apart until one day Rey got sick and had to go to hospital. Finally Rey came home and rejoined Simba at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary. Enjoy these incredible scenes showing just how much these boys mean to each other, especially when Simba, who is very arthritic, starts to skip around his friend with absolute joy! #brothers

RUNNING WILD. There’s nothing quite like seeing animals that have been confined and abused expressing their lust for life after a rescue. These four horses were found hobbled in a South African township street, now they roam free on the 455 acre ADI Wildlife Sanctuary site. Enjoy this phone clip taken walking the dogs a few days ago. Have a great weekend. | Animal Defenders International

Max was rescued from a circus cage in a junkyard in Guatemala. Now he lives in a huge natural habitat at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary, South Africa. We could try and describe his life now, but these 4 seconds probably do it best. Have a great Friday (just like Max). | Animal Defenders International

RESCUED LIONS RE-UNITED IN AFRICA CELEBRATE TWO YEARS BACK TOGETHER. The brothers were born in a circus in Guatemala but were separated when Tomas was sent to a zoo. Kimba was later surrendered to ADI when Guatemala banned all animals in circuses. Then in a surprise turn of events, with just 25 minutes notice, the zoo dropped Tomas off at ADI’s Temporary Rescue Unit in Guatemala. The boys were flown along with 15 other rescued lions and tigers to the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa and pu
