Our best hope
- IFAW’s education programmes empower young people and communities to take positive action for animals.
- Our Animal Action education programme reaches 7,000,000 young people in 15+ countries.
- Aboard our floating classrooms, children learn to respect and appreciate whales and other endangered marine wildlife.
- We teach community-based companion animal welfare from South Africa to Navajo Nation.
- We help local communities in Africa and Asia learn to live in harmony with wild animals.
