Our work depends on your generous support. Please give what you can to help the animals.
Our animal action education programme helps children learn and care about animals
Big cat possession and breeding is at epidemic proportions in the U.S. It is estimated that there could be up to 20,000 big cats in private ownership. The animals are often kept in squalid conditions and dangerously close to residential areas.
IFAW is working with Reps. Howard ‘Buck’ McKeon (R-CA) and Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) and Senator John Kerry (D-MA) to pass the Big Cats and Public Safety Protection Act (H.R. 4122/S.3547).
Please urge your U.S. Representative to cosponsor the Big Cats and Public Safety Protection Act today.
IFAW is working hard to ensure the US Government lists African lions as Endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). African lions are threatened with extinction in the wild and we have a duty as Americans to protect this iconic species.
Please use the form on the right to write a personal note to Department of Interior Secretary Kenneth Salazar, care of Jeff Flocken, IFAW’s Washington DC Director.
We will submit all letters together to the Fish and Wildlife Service at the end of the 60-Day Public Comment Period. It is critical that the U.S. government receives hundreds of thousands of notes during the public comment period urging it to protect lions.
Join the elephant march against ivory and help stop the slaughter
The John H. Prescott Marine Mammal Rescue Assistance Grant Program provides critical funding for marine mammal rescue and research. Unfortunately, this work has been slated to be eliminated in the Federal Budget for Fiscal Year 2013 currently put forth by President Obama for Congressional approval.
Please urge your Senator and Representative to save the Prescott Grant so that this vital rescue work can continue.
People around the world continue to say ‘no’ to seal products, but the Canadian government stubbornly continues trying to sell these cruel products. They are fighting the EU ban at the WTO and trying to overturn the ban in Russia. The bans must be defended!
Tell Canada that the seal hunt must end and that you will defend your right to say ‘no’ to cruelty. I’ve included this letter for your Canadian Embassy – please feel free to personalize it by adding your own language.
Each year millions of tourists travel to exotic locations to encounter wildlife, only to unwittingly bring home souvenirs made from endangered species.
Take the Think Twice pledge: Don't buy wildlife souvenirs.
