Wildlife Animal Rescue: Endangered Species Conservation Fund

Our wildlife animal rescue conservation organization offers aid to endangered and threatened wildlife and domestic animals around the world. The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) campaigns for animal conservation and habitat preservation, and also offers Emergency Animal Relief (Disaster Response) services. Our wildlife animal rescue conservation organization provides funds for wildlife research, makes grants to national and local animal welfare organizations, and offers many more services to help animals in distress. Saving the whales, saving the seals from slaughter, saving the elephants, and pet rescue are major focus areas for our animal rescue league. Our wildlife and domestic animal welfare society has even helped in the area of animal assisted therapy. Protecting endangered species, providing humane treatment for domestic animals, preserving habitat for wildlife and more requires assistance from a generous donor base.

IFAW helps protect exploited and threatened animals worldwide

Wildlife animal rescue conservation and habitat preservation represent much of the work that IFAW performs around the world. Our focus areas include: protecting animals from illegal trading, rescuing animals from catastrophes, and preserving crucial habitat. IFAW works within the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species' (CITES) to help protect animals who are being exploited due to illegal endangered species trade. IFAW's Emergency Relief Team helps national and local organizations to save animals when natural and man made disasters occur. IFAW strives to improve the welfare of animals through our own program work and grants to other organizations.

IFAW works to develop practical oil spill prevention strategies and has formed a partnership with the International Bird Research Center (IBRRC) - to create the world's leading international oiled wildlife rescue and rehabilitation organization. In 2000, IFAW helped to rehabilitate and release nearly 20,000 African penguins who had been the victims of an oil spill off the coast of South Africa.

Our work as part of the Campaign for the Protection of Hunted Animals (CPHA) is an effort to ban hunting with dogs in the UK. First formed in 1996 by the RSPCA, the League Against Cruel Sports, and IFAW, the CPHA is working to end fox hunting and dog hunting of other wild animals in the UK.

At the Cape Cod Therapeutic Riding Center at Stone Farm in Brewster, MA, a special horse used for children's emotional and physical therapy, broke his leg. IFAW donated $2,000 towards the veterinary care for this horse who had befriended so many children.

IFAW has given more than 400 grants totaling nearly $2 million to small protection groups and local shelters across the globe since 1994. In Mexico City, IFAW's Latin America office is addressing the root causes of pet overpopulation, and educating the public and local authorities about responsible pet ownership.

Studies show that human-pet interactions benefit both people and animals. We support monthly visits by therapy dogs to disabled individuals, hospital patients and shut-ins in Beijing, China. IFAW will continue working to expand the Doctor Dog program, that brings so much joy to chronically ill and disabled adults and children.
