WARRIORS

Climate Change is impacting the Arctic regions more than any other place on earth. The ice is melting at an alarming rate, and is having devastating effects on polar bears and other species unique to the region. To get involved and spread this vitally important message, I decided to take a group of fearless animal warriors with me to Svalbard to join G Adventures on a Jane Goodall endorsed expedition to learn about how we can help combat climate change and help the Arctic wildlife survive.

Animal Watch goes 'down under' with Pascale Terry of World Animal Warriors and meets rescued dingos at DINGO DEN rescue in Australia. Pascale chats with rescuer founder Joshua Said and gets up close with lots of dingos and dingo puppies. FAST FACTS: Dingoes are not dogs. They are anatomically and behaviourally different, and are classed as a unique species called Canis dingo. Dingoes do not bark like a dog but howl, chortle, yelp, whine, growl, chatter, snort, cough and purr. Dingoes have a broad diet including fresh meat, fish, eggs and carrion. Dingoes have a strict social hierarchy and regularly mate for life. Female dingoes have one annual breeding cycle, March to June. As a natural predator, dingoes lack body odour. Dingoes have no natural health issues and are immune to paralysis ticks. Dingoes are far more flexible in limb and hip movement than dogs. They can rotate their wrists and subluxate their hips. These adaptions aid hunting and moving through burrows. A dingo’s skull is the broadest part of its anatomy. This assures the dingo that its body will follow its head through any obstacle, no matter how tight the squeeze! Dingoes have much larger canine teeth than dogs. Males participate in weaning and teaching of young. Dingoes can run 60km/hour, travel 40km a day, jump two metres high and successfully climb trees. Dingoes are driven by nature’s survival instincts: hunting, procreation, protection of territory and family.

Pascale Terry from World Animal Warriors travelled to Africa to take part in the front line of anti-poaching and work alongside the anti-poaching Rangers to protect the critically endangered Black Rhino and the endangered African Elephants. Horns & Tusks from Rhinos & Elephants are sold on the black market throughout Asia and used for traditional medicine and ornaments among other things. Because of these outdated beliefs these species are now facing extinction. World Animal Warriors headed deep into the bush and lived & worked like a ranger and witnessed firsthand what it takes to protect these animals from the poachers. So many incredible memories and lifelong lessons were made, but being charged by a critically endangered Black Rhino was definitely a highlight!

World Animal Warriors recently completed its first Group Animal Mission ‘Operation Cambodian Elephant Sanctuary” after heading deep into the Cambodian forest to work alongside the rescued captive Elephants. The World Animal Warriors group spent a week at the Elephant Valley Project studying, learning and observing the Elephants in their natural habitats and learning about the fantastic rescue and conservation work Elephant Valley Project are doing across Cambodia & Thailand. There are currently over 3,000 Elephants being held captive across Asia for the tourism industry, who have been stolen from the wild, held in appalling conditions and abused every single day of their lives just so tourists can take selfies, take rides, feed and bath them for entertainment. Elephant Valley Project stepped in and decided to make a difference to the Elephants in need. They rescue Elephants across Cambodia & Thailand, rehabilitate them, give them ongoing medical care and let them live out the rest of their years in their protected forest areas whilst helping them regain their dignity and let Elephants, be Elephants. They also give back to the local communities which allows everyone involved to benefit. There are many ways you can help stop this awful tourism industry such as vowing to never ride, bath, feed or take photos with Elephants whilst travelling, volunteering your time in the sanctuary and becoming an advocate for the Elephants by sharing this video. With education and awareness we can make people aware, help them make ethical choices and not engage with Elephants (or any other wild animal) whilst travelling through Asia. Together, we need to be a voice for the Elephants. A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this animal mission a success and a special thanks to Gemma, Connaugh, Chris, Tara, Shilpi, Kulli, Roxie, Tom, Brett and Moon Bear – you are all superstars!

When the opportunity arose for me to join a WWF Polar Bear expedition in Canada with Nat Hab I immediately said yes! After 1 week on the snow in Hudson Bay & hours and hours of footage, I managed to create this snapshot video to shine a spotlight on the threats Polar Bears are facing and to learn about what we can do to help combat Climate Change. I even managed to film a Polar Bear rescue relocation! With 19 subspecies of Polar Bears and 60-80% based in Canada I knew my chances of seeing a Polar Bear in its natural habitat were in my favour. Sadly this may not always be the case due to the devastating effects of Climate Change. With only 26,000 Polar Bears left in the world, they are now officially listed as a vulnerable species with numbers expected to drastically decline further by 2040 unless we do something to help. If you would like to take part on your next Polar Bear mission visit: www.worldanimalwarriors.org www.nathab.com/polar-bear-tours/ To learn about ways you can help, please visit: - www.worldwildlife.org/species/polar-bear www.wwf.org.au/what-we-do/climate/impacts-of-global-warming *All clothing worn on this expedition were synthetic filled with faux fur and 100% cruelty free.

Whist traveling through remote Africa working alongside the Anti Poaching Rangers, we came across of a herd of Black Rhino and experienced an encounter that I will never forget...

Pascale Terry, Founder or World Animal Warriors travelled to remote Eastern Europe to work alongside rescued Brown Bears to learn of ways we can help their numbers thrive. Brown Bears are under constant threat from illegal poaching, illegal wildlife trade, private ownership, circuses & captivity. To find out ways you can help, please watch and enjoy this video. (Suitable for viewing in Europe, Asia & Middle East)

Pascale Terry found herself in traveling through India and made a last minute detour to the largest Sloth Bear Sanctuary in the world to learn about the Bears and to find ways she could help. The Sloth Bears were known to travel for weeks on end in the scolding heat, with painful piercings through their noses, whilst being forced to perform in the streets to earn their handlers money. Such force was used that their noses were often left torn and infected which would lead to blindness or death. They were living lives of misery. Free The Bears and Wildlife SOS stepped in and decided to open a sanctuary in Agra, India to rescue the Dancing Bears which they did very successfully. In 2009 the last known Dancing Bear was rescued and placed in the Sanctuary to enjoy the rest of his life in peace. Not long after they also played a huge part of the Indian Government making the use of Dancing Bears illegal in India. Today, 627 Sloth Bears have been rescued thanks to these two organizations and they are living lives of happiness. If you would like to volunteer, sponsor or learn more, visit www.wildlifesos.org or www.freethebears.org In 2009 the last known Dancing Bear was rescued.
