Haiti Emergency Relief Response
IFAW’s animal relief responders in Haiti continue to work long days with the Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti (ARCH) to provide immediate veterinary care, vaccinations, and food to both companion and farm animals.
The team have found and cared for many injured and undernourished animals, and vaccinated and treated them for fleas and other conditions.

IFAW launches new Animal Emergency Relief and Climate Change report
IFAW has launched a new report, “Unnatural Disasters: The Impacts of Climate-Related Emergencies on Wildlife, Livestock, and Companion Animals.” In this report we assess the link between climate change and the likelihood of increased more intense natural disasters. We also discuss how these more frequent and severe natural disasters could impact animals and require decision-makers to plan for necessary animal emergency relief efforts.
The report calls on the United States Government, the United Nations and other Intergovernmental Organizations, NGOs and the private sector to work together to support animal emergency preventative, preparedness and relief efforts in order to alleviate the immediate, and devastating effects of climate change that threaten animals.
This report launches as world leaders from 193 countries will meet at the 15th United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen with the goal of entering into a global climate agreement.
Abused Zimbabwe Elephants Begin New Life
The nine wild elephants rescued from cruel safari training at a Zimbabwe ranch have been successfully relocated to their new home in Hwange National Park. Tracking shows the elephants have stayed together as a group as they begin their new life in a protected reserve free from abuse and neglect.
Thank you to all the incredible supporters who helped IFAW make this life-saving rescue effort possible.
