Today, on International Gibbon Day, we’re sharing Bakti’s story - one of heartbreak, hope and freedom.

Rescued from the illegal pet trade in West Java, this tiny Javan gibbon was found tied to a post, dehydrated, malnourished and weighing just 950g.

With specialist care from our team in Indonesia, Bakti slowly recovered. He regained his strength, learned natural gibbon behaviours, and formed a bond with another gibbon, Monik.

In 2017, the pair were released back into the forest, wild and free, where they always belonged. πŸ’š

Sometimes, the view says it all. πŸŒΏπŸ’š

A wonderful view over the LΓ©sio-Louna Reserve in Congo, it's a vast landscape of river, forest and open wilderness - and an important home for wildlife, including the gorillas we protect.

Our team in Gabon recently removed a fallen tree that was blocking access along the river, opening up the route further into the landscape.

With the way now clear, we can place camera traps further downstream and build a better picture of the incredible wildlife living here - from the species we regularly encounter to some of the more elusive gorilla groups we rarely get the chance to see. πŸ¦πŸ“·

Camera traps are an important part of how we monitor these wild landscapes, and with your support, we can invest in more equipment and extend our reach even further.

More cameras mean more opportunities to learn, discover and protect.

When a herd of 42 buffalo escaped from Ohrigstad Dam Nature Reserve in South Africa, a coordinated response was needed to help get them safely back to where they belonged.

The Aspinall Foundation supported the operation with the use a helicopter, working alongside Hope for Wildlife Helicopter, Wildlife Emergency Fund, Friends of Wildlife and Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks Agency to help guide the herd back into the reserve. πŸƒπŸš

Operations like this show just how important the right resources and infrastructure are. Strong, well-maintained fencing plays a vital role in keeping wildlife safe within protected areas and helping to prevent situations like this from happening in the first place.

With your support, we can continue investing in the resources needed to protect wildlife, strengthen these landscapes and respond when help is needed most.
