IFAW

IFAW, the International Fund for Animal Welfare, is a global charity rescuing animals and protecting the habitats that wildlife and people share.

Wildlife faces a tangle of threats, from trafficking and the exotic pet trade to poaching and the steady loss of habitat. IFAW sees these crises as bound up with human wellbeing too, and frames its work around animals, people and the shared places all of us call home.

Its response combines rescue with longer-term conservation. Teams rehabilitate and release animals in trouble, from orphaned wildlife to injured birds of prey, while broader programmes tackle the systems that put species at risk in the first place, across dozens of countries.
