A happy and proud moment when rescued circus lions Black and Jora finally arrived at Born Free's Big Cat Sanctuary in South Africa. David Simpson, a friend of OAT, participated in the rescue and now contributes to their life time care.

Jocelyn Lawman’s helped us from the outset with her branding and artistic expertise. She developed the Olsen Animal Trust logo and produces the beautiful invitations and marketing material for our events. Jos has also created Dave's Blog and has played a huge part in the development of our website. Many people have asked who created the lovely images on the blog when lack of internet prevented Dave from sending pics from the field - well this is the artist!

in 2017, Eden Travel invited OAT to become their charity partner and since then our supported projects have featured in their luxury travel brochures and we will soon have a multiple page spread in their client magazine. The latter will covers the Olsen's trip to Asia, organised by Eden, and the importance of responsible tourism and the negative impact of animals exploited for human entertainment.
