Divest from Harry Potter and JKR, y'all. It's okay to feel sad about no longer engaging with something that meant a lot to you, but a fictional world that funds a very real assault on trans rights will never be more meaningful than caring about the safety of trans folks.

Wild dogs are incredibly inquisitive by nature – and with our SWT/KWS Anti-Poaching rangers taking a break on patrol, it's hard to tell who is watching whom. Behind this quiet encounter is years of boots-on-the-ground conservation, helping this endangered species return to Tsavo.

A snare was cutting deep into the neck of this young male lion, and with every movement, the wire would have tightened further. A member of Elsa's Pride, spotted at Mugongo Plain in Meru National Park. The SWT/KWS Meru Mobile Vet Unit removed the snare, and he was able to rejoin the pride.

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."
Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

The indifference is not just at Cornell; our country knowingly elected a sexual predator… twice! There are so many examples of how our culture programs young men to be this way. We have social media platforms amplifying violent misogyny. Rarely are there ever consequences for any of it.

The cheetah is the world's fastest land animal, capable of reaching 120 kph – but it hasn't been able to outrun the human threats pushing it towards extinction. Fewer than 7,000 remain in Africa. When a cheetah named Milele was found with an injured leg, our SWT/KWS Mara Vet Unit answered.

Every one of these elephants was rescued at their greatest time of need; they receive specialist care day and night before being given a second chance to return to the wild. After their midday feed, the 20 milk-dependent orphans in our current 22-strong Voi herd enjoy a mega mud bath session. 🐘

Lemeki and Thamana wasted no time this morning. As the water bowser rolled in to top up the trough at Voi, the two were straight there – drinking their fill before the fresh water had even settled. This is one of a dozen water bowsers we operate, travelling across Tsavo filling waterholes.
