Our vision is to see a world where animals are respected and protected. IFAW engineers solutions that benefit animals, people, and the planet, and activate where we are needed the most.
About: IFAW is a global non-profit helping animals and people thrive together. We are experts and everyday people, working across seas, oceans, and in more than 40 countries around the world. We rescue, rehabilitate, and release animals, and we restore and protect their natural habitats. The problems we’re up against are urgent and complicated. To solve them, we match fresh thinking with bold action. We partner with local communities, governments, non-governmental organizations, and businesses.
Together, we pioneer new and innovative ways to help all species flourish.
