Larsen passed away peacefully in December 2019, after bravely fighting a rare brain tumour. 

Larsen loved big cats and always talked about his desire to be a zoo keeper or ranger, to help protect animals such as lions, tigers, jaguars, leopards and cheetahs. As a family, we'd like to help him fulfill his ambition to protect endangered species.

We visited The Aspinall Foundation's Port Lympne reserve in Kent in December, somewhere Larsen had been desperate to visit. He was lucky enough to stay in their Tiger Lodge, which is where the picture above was taken. 

The Aspinall Foundation believe that animals deserve to live in their natural environments, free from persecution through hunting, trapping and loss of habitat. Today the foundation is known for reintroducing captive bred animals to protected wilderness areas and reserves worldwide so their populations can be sustained.

Your donation can pay for::

-£5 can pay towards preliminary research regarding returning endangered animals to the wild

-£10 would pay for a memory card for one of the camera traps which monitor animals released into the wild

-£20 pays for animals living at Port Lympne to stay active by providing puzzle feeders and enrichment toys
