While so many others have been involved in a variety of relevant ways over the last decades, and their contributions have been and will continue to be hugely meaningful and significant, the film’s powerful visual narrative as well as the global campaign have provided a compelling call to action to have these practices stopped.

a TOURISM PLEDGE for wildlife

born to live wild

With support from the wider conservation community and the global tourism industry, as well as millions of concerned citizens, the Blood Lions Campaign is now owned by everyone who supports the notion of ending the breeding, canned hunting and commercial exploitation of wild animals.

The Blood Lions ‘Born to Live Wild’ Tourism Campaign and Pledge has been signed by more than 215 tourism operators from around the world. By signing the Born to Live Wild pledge, these tourism businesses commit to not knowingly support any operator that contributes to the cycle of captive breeding, canned hunting and commercial exploitation of wild animals. This includes all petting and ‘walking with lions’ tourist attractions, as well as voluntourism involving the handling of young predators.

This pledge has become a central part of what we are all trying to achieve, and this page celebrates those safari and tourism operators that have committed to actively becoming involved in being part of the solution. The operators whose logos are displayed below have all signed the Born to Live Wild pledge and commit to securing the survival of Africa’s predators in the wild by supporting and promoting Africa as an authentic, wild and ethical tourism destination.

For those of you not yet committed, we urge you to sign this Born to Live Wild pledge and join the campaign. All existing Born to Live Wild supporting operators and future signatories sign in good faith, as the industry will be its own watchdog.

Companies ‘sign’ the pledge by verbally agreeing to the terms within the pledge and adding their logos to this page.
— Send an email with your company logo to info@bloodlions.org for more information.
