Meet Vejpa, a Cougar Who Survived Wildfires in the Bolivian Amazon
Last month we shared the wonderful news that Vejpa, a young puma, was rescued by Senda Verda Wildlife Sanctuary, the Bolivian refuge we're helping. Here's his story.
Protecting Wildlife Means Protecting Ourselves, Plus the Link to COVID-19
In our last blog, we identified the critical role that reputable sanctuaries, like our campaign partner Senda Verde in Bolivia, play in protecting animals rescued from the wildlife trade.
Many recent headlines are linking the COVID-19 pandemic directly to this same wildlife trade. We asked Damien Mander, Founder and CEO of the International Anti-Poaching Foundation, to connect the dots for us.
A Conversation with the Founders of Senda Verde Wildlife Animal Sanctuary
We founded Senda Verde in 2003 in the subtropical region east of the Bolivian Andes. With deforestation and wildlife trafficking reaching peak levels, we saw an urgent need to inspire and educate the Bolivian people about the value of the living forest through the conservation of flora and fauna.

The Great Drying and How We Can Help
Torrential rain swept across Australia's east coast over the weekend after years of drought — putting out two of the biggest and longest-burning bushfires in the country’s populous region of New South Wales. What do we really know about these wildfires and how this cycle of drought and deluge might be connected to deforestation and climate change? Here are some important facts about wildfires, deforestation, and climate change, which all have an impact on the homes and habitats of many people and animals.
What Makes Quokkas So Happy?!?
We don't know, but humans helping to save quokka homes and habitats is probably high on the list! These adorable marsupials occupy a number of different habitats, including semi-arid scrub forests. In fact, many animals consider forests home.
What Do Koalas, Coal, and Climate Change Have in Common?
More than we might think.
That's because when we burn fossil fuels, carbon is converted to carbon dioxide (CO2) and released into the air. Like most things, that's not so bad when it happens in moderation.
