Animal welfare education

Our education courses and materials help students worldwide to understand the importance of animal welfare.

Why education matters

Endorsed by organizations including UNESCO, our education work is designed to build compassion and respect for animals. Working in Central and South America, Africa and Asia, we run courses for teachers, students and people who work with animals. Our aim is simple — to explain why animal welfare is vital for people and the planet, and to show how people can improve the lives of animals.
