VIVA! 15 Peak Challenge
Snowdonia National Park
North Wales
UK
From 3-4 July 2010, a bunch of extremely fit (and foolish?) vegans will bravely attempt Welsh 3000s, to climb all 15 Welsh mountains with summits over 3000 feet, in a single 24 hour period, to raise money for Viva! and the Vegetarian and Vegan Foundation.
The Snowdonia National Park, which has the evocative Welsh name of 'Eryri' meaning ' the place of the eagles', is an area of outstanding natural beauty covering 838 square miles and containing some of the most magnificent scenery in Wales. http://www.welsh3000s.co.uk/
The event is being run by Lupine Adventures (who run vegetarian and vegan walking holidays) in association with the Extreme Vegan Sporting Association.
They will cover 48 km, with nearly 4,000 m of ascent and descent, over the beautiful mountains of Snowdonia. Mountain Leadership and safety management is provided by Lupine Adventure, who will charge £115, including carbon offsetting. Travel, accommodation and food will be extra. All participants will need to complete the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge as a rehearsal on Sunday 11 April. Of 9 places on this all-vegan team, several are already gone. Register soon at http://www.extremevegansports.org/

United Kingdom

Dr Kelly Daley is an internationally renowned academic from the University of Chicago, and two years ago she conducted in depth research with people who take part in dog fighting. She wanted to get under their skin; to find out what makes them ‘tick’. And her findings were fascinating – and they are the focus for our Annual Lecture. (Our mission: To expose and bring to an end the cruelty inflicted on animals in the name of sport.)
In addition to Dr Daley’s Lecture, we’ll be giving away four Awards. Our award for Parliamentarian of the Year will recognise the commitment of one MP or Peer who has really helped the League’s work in the last year. Our Media Award will be presented to someone in the media who has done a great deal to further our cause. Finally, our two volunteer awards will reward those wonderful people who help the League both at our Head Office and around the country.
You can find out more information on our website. If you’d like to come, please email campaign@league.org.uk as soon as possible – you do need to tell us you’re coming so we can put your name on the guest list. Website is www.league.org.uk
Please join us. It’s a free event, no cost to you in attending....an important event for the animals, as well! Telephone: 01483 524 250

Sir David Attenborough told delegates attending Butterfly Conservation's Sixth International Symposium in March that the declines are deeply worrying.
He said: "Butterflies are sensitive indicators. They decline when habitats are destroyed and when man harms the environment. We have known about butterfly losses in Britain for over 50 years. Now there is mounting evidence that it is a global problem." Sir David, who is President of Butterfly Conservation, added: "If butterflies are disappearing, other wildlife will be declining too. Some will be facing extinction.

People for Endangered Species
Take Part in Annual Mammals on Roads Survey
People’s Trust for Endangered Species
15 Cloisters House
8 Battersea Park Road
London SW8 4BG
July sees the start of our Mammals on Roads survey, a nationwide survey of mammal sightings along single-carriageways, which has run each year since 2001. To date, over half a million kilometres of road have been surveyed, and changes in counts of species such as hedgehogs, foxes and badgers have been tracked over time. Findings from the survey have already alerted us to the possible drastic decline in hedgehogs and were the impetus for HogWatch.
As well as recording sightings, volunteers record information about their route. This allows the journeys and sightings to be mapped, and counts of each species to be expressed as the number of sightings per distance travelled, so that the results can be compared between years and a long-term picture built up.
Take part: To get started you can choose from one of these options:
To request a survey pack by post contact mor@ptes.org

The Jungle Zoo has been exposed multiple times as failing to reach even the lax standards laid down by Defra, who have said they must improve. The Captive Animal Protection Society (www.captiveanimals.org) have conducted undercover investigations and produced a damning report, which is backed up by another very recent investigation which proves things have still not changed.
Please see our website for info about a recent demo and links to the 2007 and 2010 reports detailing the conditions in the zoo: Jungle Zoo Reports
Contact S.A.F at sheffieldanimalfriends@gmail.com if you would like any other info or would like to help our campaign, or alternatively please meet us in the car park outside the zoo to join us in protesting at any time throughout the day.

Action Needed
Ask your MP to sign EDM 403 on
Wild Animals in Circuses
This time last year, Animal Defenders International released the shocking findings of an investigation of the Great British Circus.
A year on, and the UK public are more than ever behind a ban on wild animals in circuses… but it is in danger of slipping away due to political inaction.
This week Jim Fitzpatrick MP has tabled an EDM calling for a ban on the use of wild animals in circuses once and for all, and bringing debate on the issue back to the House of Commons.
It is vital that as many MPs as possible sign this EDM to make sure the use of animals in UK circuses is finally stamped out. This is a real chance to secure legislation to end the suffering of animals in circuses.Please write to your MP today, asking them to sign EDM 403 Wild Animals in Circuses, at:
The House of Commons,
London, SW1A 0AA.
