“***Dying for a Drink Campaign continues & we NEED your help***

We have been putting out litres of water across the countryside for what seems like weeks now. Apart from a few little showers and one decent bit of rain, it seems as though we have now surpassed
12 weeks of dry weather.

Fledgling birds have been struggling, cubs have been struggling too - particularly badger cubs and hedgehogs who can't dig for worms as the ground is so hard and this dry warm weather is set to continue, so we need our help.

Please set up a water tray in your garden or, if you know of any area where you have wildlife, but all the water sources have dried up, you can set up a water location there:

* Shallow trays or dishes are good for hedgehogs 🦔
* If using a larger tray, please put a pile of stones in one corner, so a smaller mammal doesn't drown, also enables a bee to drink 🐝
* A small branch can be floated in a larger tray.
* Try & place your tray in shade

Please try and get your children involved and if they set up a tray - please take a pic and send it in 🙂 We love the little people to be involved in helping our wildlife.

“We are relieved to hear Togo has officially banned the donkey skin trade, which slaughters over six million donkeys globally a year.

Togo’s Ministry of Animal Resources announced the decision on June 11 2025, helping to reduce the wipeout of donkey populations, especially in Africa.

Brooke in West Africa has long advocated for a ban in Togo, which is a key trading point for skins from countries like Burkina Faso.
Emmanuel Sarr, Brooke West Africa’s Director, said: “Togo’s decision to ban the donkey skin trade is a vital victory for animal welfare and for the millions of people who depend on donkeys for their livelihoods.

“This move sends a strong message across the region that the mass slaughter of donkeys for eijao must end.

“We commend Togo’s leadership and urge all countries to follow suit to protect these essential animals, before their population dwindles.”

Brooke is calling for a global ban on the trade which produces eijao from donkey skin, a Chinese medicine made from their skins used in cosmetics and food.”
