To the Rescue

Saving people is a priority when disasters strike, but now it is recognized that saving animals is vital too.

Indeed, in most instances, helping people and helping animals go hand in hand. Farmers cannot survive without their livestock, diseases in animals can spread to people, communities that depend on wildlife tourism can be ruined, and people in disasters want their pets rescued. To the Rescue - Emergency Relief for Animals explores how, in many disaster situations, the needs and welfare of both humans and the animals upon which they depend are intertwined.
