About World Animal Protection
Every day billions of animals experience unbearable suffering. At World Animal Protection we move the world to protect animals because the life of every animal counts.
We’re a global animal welfare organisation and have been campaigning for over 50 years to end animal cruelty and suffering.
Right now, we’re prioritising issues where change can transform the lives of the greatest number of animals by overhauling the global food system and ending the cruel exploitation of our planet’s wildlife.
As people face urgent issues like the global pandemic, climate emergency and depleting natural resources, we give animals a voice and ensure their needs are met.
Though the challenge is great, our determination is greater.
Our Global Strategy for 2021-2030
To ensure we create the biggest impact for animals, we will give our undivided attention to two goals over the next 10 years. We won’t stop, until we succeed.
What we do:
- We end the needless suffering of animals
- We influence decision makers to put animals on the global agenda
- We help the world see how important animals are to all of us
- We inspire people to change animals’ lives for the better
- We move the world to protect animals.
Join us and together, we move the world to protect animals.
