Przewalksi’s Horses, Hustai National Park, Mongolia

The world’s last wild horses

The Przewalski’s Horse is the only true wild horse on earth. To see it outside of captivity, you can come to this national park in Mongolia.

Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery, Galle, Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka’s threatened turtles

The turtles along Sri Lanka’s southern coast are threatened by human activity. But these local turtle hatcheries are trying to save them.

A retirement home for elephants

When the elephant rides stopped at Angkor, the animals came to the forest. The sanctuary at Kulen may be ‘retirement’ for them, but it seems they can never be free.

El Silencio Ecolodge, Costa Rica

Who’s protecting the jungles of Costa Rica?

Set in the lush jungle of Costa Rica, this ecolodge is more than just accommodation. It represents the green heart that so many don’t have.

Sloth Sanctuary, Limon, Costa Rica

Sloth is not a sin

It was never planned this way but one family has dedicated itself to rescuing the injured and orphaned sloths of Costa Rica

Orangutans, Tanjung Puting, Kalimantan, Indonesia

Orangutans in Borneo

Up close with orangutans at Tanjung Puting NP in Kalimantan, Indonesia. How you can visit and see them for yourself in Borneo. Photos and stories here.

Tanjung Puting Orangutan Tour, Kalimantan, Indonesia

Is orangutan tourism ethical?

Orangutan tours and tourism are increasing in Kalimantan, the Indonesian part of Borneo. Here I get a first hand look at whether they are ethical.

Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, Sri Lanka

Addressing the elephant in the room

I head to Sri Lanka’s Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage to ask about some ethical issues… and am surprised by what I find!

Pro Cosara conservation project in Paraguay, Atlantic Forest

Saving the forests of Paraguay

Locked in battle with illegal loggers and local farmers, Pro Cosara is a small organisation trying to save the dwindling Atlantic Forest in Paraguay.
