In Umani Springs, everyone now walks at ‘Mwezi pace’!
At just five days old, our tiniest girl can’t travel very far or very fast, but the herd is very, very happy to slow down to her baby speed.
Every baby born to a rewilded orphan is a miracle, but that miracle is compounded for our ex-orphan mum, Murera: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/n…

This months-old calf was attacked by predators at the height of the dry season. He survived, but was left with septic bite wounds – and a very worried mother.
To treat him safely in the field, our team had to dart both mother and calf with an anaesthetic drug, then set to work cleaning the calf’s many wounds. Fortunately, the damage was to soft tissue only, and he should make a good recovery.
His was one of 13 treatments and translocations carried out in August alone by our Tsavo Mobile Veterinary team, a joint operation with the Kenya Wildlife Service. Thank you to every donor who makes each one possible.

Many in our community struggle to access medical care, especially dental services
Long travels & high costs lead some to give up For this year's World Gorilla day, we wanted to support the community in a meaningful way
We’re grateful to Rugarama Hospital for making this possible

A minute with Tina is enough to see how conservation goes beyond wildlife.
By skilling communities, she creates sustainable livelihoods that protect both people and nature.
True conservation is community empowerment indeed!

#WorldGorillaDay
Yesterday we joined @ugwildlife to celebrate World Gorilla Day honoring Bwindi's mountain gorillas and the communities protecting their forest.
In Kanungu and Rubanda, we support tree planting, beekeeping, weaving and more, because conservation must also benefit people.
Happy World Gorilla Day!
Gorillas are our closest neighbors, vital to our economy and ecosystem. We deeply respect them and are committed to conservation through tree planting and ongoing community awareness.
#WorldGorillaDay #Changealifebwindi
As we prepare for World Gorilla Day, we're excited to share that we've organized activities around Bwindi. A highlight is a free medical camp by our partner, Rugarama Hospital, benefiting local residents. We're grateful for this generous gesture and its positive community impact.

Sports for Conservation was also about giving back to the community.
As the football brought excitement to the day, a medical camp provided dental services to community members, making the celebration an opportunity to care for people as we continue caring for nature.
Conservation is not only about protecting wildlife. It is also about building stronger, healthier communities that feel connected to and invested in protecting the forests and gorillas they live alongside.
One community, one shared responsibility: protect gorillas, protect our forests, protect our futures. 🌿

Day 2, Sports for Conservation brought Ruhija and Mpungu together on the football pitch!
The teams competed for the prize, while community members turned up in big numbers to cheer on their children and celebrate together.
Beyond the game, it was a day of connection, teamwork and creating a shared space where conservation meets community.
When we bring people together through activities they love, we create more opportunities to talk about protecting gorillas, their habitat and the communities that live alongside it. 🌿

One of the highlights of today’s Sports for Conservation event has been listening to the students and community members share what conservation means to them, the challenges they face, and what they believe needs to be done.
Thanks to @ChangeBwindi , we had the opportunity to listen, learn and understand conservation from the community’s perspective.
Sports for Conservation is more than just sports. It creates a platform to bring communities together, engage young people and build a stronger connection between community wellbeing and gorilla conservation. When communities are empowered and involved, protecting gorillas and their habitat becomes a shared responsibility.
Protect gorillas. Protect our forests. Protect our futures.

We kicked off Day 1 of Sports for Conservation with a tree-planting activity at Ruhija Seed Secondary School in Rubanda District.
Together with the students, we planted indigenous trees and had an engaging session on why protecting and restoring our forests matters for gorilla conservation.
These trees will contribute to the vegetation belt, provide important habitat and help maintain the forest ecosystems that gorillas depend on.
It was a great start to our World Gorilla Day pre-celebrations planting today for a greener habitat tomorrow.
