animal rescue impact report

At IFAW, we make no secret of what we believe is key to animal rescue success: preparedness. It is the invisible thread that connects each of the stories in this year’s impact report.

This past year has not been without stories of heartbreak and loss, but through IFAW’s knowledge, training, resources and involvement, we were able to come to the aid of thousands of animals around the world affected by the rise of natural disasters and human conflict. This year we also established important and lasting frameworks — through trainings, provision of equipment and the development of collaborative networks — to better prepare rescuers and communities across the globe. We continue to make sure that rescue teams can respond to crises quickly and effectively.

Animal rescue is not one size fits all, but we know that taking steps to prepare — whether through training, being well stocked with supplies or having crucial rapid response funds — improves the chance of survival for animals in need.
