How you can help wildlife
"If you can ride, hug, or have a selfie with the wild animal, the chances are it’s a cruel venue. Don’t go."
You can protect wild animals from the cruelty of tourist entertainment by taking action on your vacation and when you travel.

Stand up for Wildlife
Whether it’s posing for a photograph with a wild animal, visiting live shows that force wild animals to perform or taking part in activities that involve riding wild animals, increasing demand from people on holiday means these animals will continue to suffer for entertainment.
By working together, we can help end the suffering of wild animals in the name of tourist entertainment for good.
Pledge your support to be an animal-friendly tourist when you travel. You can protect these animals by reducing the demand for wild animals in entertainment in the countries where you are on holiday.
As a thank you for taking our pledge, we'll send you a link to download our animal-friendly pocket travel guide.
