Our next project is to fund vitamins & minerals for the animals to get them through winter. Last year, supporters helped us do this; all the animals made it through winter. The zoo was really grateful, it shows them they aren't forgotten too. Please support us if you can! ko-fi.com/friendsofyem...

Hi everyone, here's one of the #lions in #TaizZoo enjoying the sun in #Yemen. The current project to repair the leopards' enclosures is nearly done, so we are very grateful to everyone who supported it - it is vital to do, to keep both leopards and animals safe. ko-fi.com/friendsofyem...

This #Caturday here are three of the #Arabian_leopards in #TaizZoo #Yemen. The leopards are making the most of the tree which a donor kindly funded, and the shelf our supporters kindly funded. This means the leopards can practice their climbing skills. ko-fi.com/friendsofyem...

Hi everyone, We’ve had an appeal from #TaizZoo for help with repairs to leopards’ enclosures as the metal at the base of many of the cages has decayed and some of the roofs are missing. Please help us if you can; thank you :-) ko-fi.com/friendsofyem...

On #WorldLionDay2025, meet the very handsome Ghazi, who is at Yemen's Taiz Zoo. This beautiful Abyssinian lion is very rare. He is one of the enclosures our supporters kindly donated to so that we could get Ghazi outside instead of indoors. ko-fi.com/friendsofyem...

Here's to #lions everywhere and those working for their #Conservation. The Taiz Zoo Director says they could take the lions out of the concrete prisons to the open air and that they survived winter thanks to the support of our donors. They really appreciate everyone's support. #WorldLionDay2025
