🦌 WILD WINS | Positive wildlife stories from around the world For years, conservationists feared mountain bongos had disappeared from Kenya's Maasai Mau Forest. Then the cameras captured something remarkable. Three critically endangered mountain bongos moving through the forest, offering fresh hope for one of Africa's rarest antelopes. Found only in Kenya, mountain bongos have faced severe population declines due to habitat loss, poaching, and other human pressures. Today, they remain one of the world's most endangered antelope species. This sighting is a reminder that protection and conservation works. When habitats are protected and wildlife is given space to recover, nature can surprise us. Every conservation success story starts with protecting the places animals call home. #WildWins #MountainBongo #WildlifeConservation #KenyaWildlife #Biodiversity #ProtectWildlife

Food systems are about more than what we produce. They are about how we produce it, who benefits, and what kind of future we are building. As conversations continue at the World Farmers' Organisation Annual Meeting, we believe smallholder farmers, animal welfare, and environmental sustainability must all be part of the discussion. A Just Food Transition should support farmer livelihoods, strengthen communities, promote animal welfare, and protect the natural resources that food production depends on. Because the future of food must work for farmers, animals, people, and the planet. #WFO2026 #JustFoodTransition #Agroecology #AnimalWelfare #FoodSystems #SmallholderFarmers #Africa

At the World Farmers' Organisation Annual Meeting, we have had the opportunity to discuss key issues affecting Kenya's agricultural sector and exchange perspectives on sustainable food systems, agroecology, and animal welfare. We are pleased to have engaged with Hon. Dr. John Mutunga, Chairperson of the Parliamentary Committee on Agriculture and Member of Parliament, on these important issues. Dialogue between policymakers and stakeholders is critical to advancing food systems that work for farmers, communities, animals, and the environment. #WFO2026 #Agroecology #AnimalWelfare #JustFoodTransition #FoodSystemsKenya

One of the highlights of our participation at the World Farmers' Organisation Annual Meeting was the visit by Hon. Mutahi Kagwe, Kenya's Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture and Livestock Development. The Cabinet Secretary stopped by our booth to engage with the World Animal Protection and @BIBA_Kenya teams and learn more about our work promoting agroecology, animal welfare, and equitable, humane, and sustainable food systems. His interest in these issues reflects the growing importance of conversations around the future of agriculture, food systems transformation, and sustainable development in Kenya and across Africa. Through the booth, we are showcasing how animal welfare and agroecological approaches can contribute to resilient food systems that benefit farmers, communities, animals, and the environment. #WFO2026 #Agroecology #AnimalWelfare #JustFoodTransition #FoodSystems #SustainableAgriculture #Africa

Today, World Animal Protection and Biodiversity and Biosafety Association of Kenya @BIBA_Kenya are participating in the World Farmers' Organisation Annual Meeting, marking the first time this global event is being hosted in Africa. The meeting brings together farmers, policymakers, researchers, and development partners to discuss the future of food and farming. Throughout the event, we will be championing a Just Food Transition, agroecology, and the role of animal welfare in creating equitable, humane, and sustainable food systems across Africa. We believe the future of food must work for farmers, communities, animals, and the environment. #WFO2026 #JustFoodTransition #Agroecology #AnimalWelfare #FoodSystems

Factory farming is not climate smart. It is linked to animal suffering, biodiversity loss, pollution, public health risks, and growing pressure on communities and natural resources. Africa's food future should support farmers, strengthen communities, and build resilient food systems. #StopFinancingFactoryFarming #FoodSystems #AnimalWelfare #ClimateJustice

Africa’s food future must be shaped by farmers, women, and youth, not the factory farm model. Communities across Africa are already advancing sustainable, locally rooted food systems. Public finance should help strengthen these pathways. What future are we financing? #AfDBAM2026 #FoodSystems #FoodSecurity

Public funds should not fuel factory farming in Africa. Development finance should support sustainable and locally led food systems that strengthen resilience, livelihoods, biodiversity, and long-term food security. What future are we financing? #AfDBAM2026 #DevelopmentFinance #FoodSystems

What does a world without factory farming look like? It looks like food systems that protect biodiversity, strengthen communities, support farmers, and build resilience. Sustainable African food systems already exist. Will public finance support them? #AfDBAM2026 #Agroecology #FoodSystems

How long can we survive in a world with factory farming? Across Africa, industrial livestock expansion is being promoted as development, despite growing concerns around pollution, biodiversity loss, public health, land pressure, and climate resilience. What future are we financing? #AfDBAM2026 #FoodSystems #ClimateJustice

Following the sad news of the death of a tourist and elephant in Karnataka, our India office wrote to the Chief Wildlife Warden of Karnataka urging strict monitoring of all close human-elephant interactions in captive settings and calling for an end to elephant rides and entertainment. They also urged authorities to explore opportunities for the rehabilitation and possible release of forest camp elephants back into the wild, wherever feasible. The Chief Wildlife Warden of Karnataka has now confirmed new restrictions taking place immediately, with tourists no longer able to: - Go near elephants - Take selfies or photographs standing close to them - Touch elephant trunks - Bathe elephants - Feed them bananas, jaggery or sugarcane Whilst this is a step forward in the right direction, elephants are wild animals, and as such they belong in the wild, not in captivity.
