Tricia Croasdell, Global CEO World Animal Protection

In 2024, across our 12 global offices, you helped tackle some of the world’s biggest causes of animal suffering.

Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of visiting our teams and partners in China, Brazil, the US, Sweden and Denmark. Each visit reminded me that our mission is truly global, and that it’s powered by you.

In a time of uncertainty and change, your compassion has rescued animals in crisis, spared wild animals from exploitation, and driven lasting, systemic change.

Thanks to your generosity, we’ve challenged corporate giants like JBS and brought the harms of factory farming to the United Nations. Your support is creating a kinder, more compassionate future for animals.

From everyone at World Animal Protection – thank you for standing with animals and inspiring hope around the world.
