About Simba:
In 2020, a tiny and emaciated cub named Simba was discovered, abandoned in a cardboard box, hidden away in a deserted garage near Moscow. His journey began in the darkest of circumstances, yet little did he know that he would become a beacon of hope and inspiration for all. It is likely that Simba fell victim to the cruel wildlife trade. In December 2021, he found a glimmer of hope when he was transported to the Natuurhulpcentrum (‘Nature Help Centre’) in Belgium. There, he received the care and love he so desperately needed to survive. In 2022, an extraordinary chapter unfolded in Simba's life when the Born Free Foundation orchestrated a forever home for him at Animanatura Wild Sanctuary, nestled in the breathtaking beauty of Tuscany, Italy. From that moment on, Simba's life blossomed, as he embraced a new beginning filled with love and hope.
Simba's story stands as a powerful reminder of the resilience and strength that resides within our precious wildlife. This collection honors Simba's journey and serves as a symbol of hope for all wildlife. We hope that this collection will inspire and empower individuals to take significant action and play a vital role in safeguarding the future of our precious Lions and all wildlife.
