What's On
Help Malenky and Nanuq the bears
We face an urgent new mission: two bear cubs in desperate need of a new home after their mother was rescued from the war in Ukraine.
One year-old bear cubs Malenky and Nanuq are faced with an uncertain future. Their mother, a survivor of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, was rescued from unimaginable circumstances on the front line, trapped in northern Ukraine by advancing troops and weeks of bombing.
As the conflict moved east, rescue teams were finally able to get in and she was taken to Poland, crossing the border amongst thousands of refugees also fleeing the war. With most emergency shelters quickly filling up, she was moved between different zoos before being brought to safety in Belgium and against all odds gave birth to the twins, offering a symbol of hope amid turmoil.
These cubs have endured an extraordinary tale of resilience and survival, but now, they desperately need your help to find a safe and loving forever home.
Adopt an animal
Animal adoptions last for one year and are the perfect gift for any animal lover. Each adoption helps support our work to save British wildlife. We have different levels of adoption available to suit all occasions and budgets, and you can choose from any one of our animals.
The choice of animal is available on our our ONLINE SHOP. Alternatively, if you would like to speak to a member of the team, please feel free to give us a call on 01227 712111.
