When animals vanish, ecosystems unravel—and so do the plants, knowledge, and livelihoods that depend on them. Protecting wildlife is protecting the foundation of life for people and nature alike.

Without them, many plants that communities rely on would disappear.
This year’s #WorldWildlifeDay theme—“Medicinal and Aromatic Plants: Conserving Health, Heritage and Livelihoods”—reminds us that human wellbeing is deeply connected to healthy ecosystems and thriving wildlife.

🐘🐦 Protecting Wildlife Protects Health and Heritage
Birds disperse seeds, bats and bees pollinate flowers, and elephants shape forests—wildlife is essential for keeping medicinal and aromatic plants thriving.

With EU fur production down 86% over the past decade and strong public support for a ban across Member States, the message from citizens is clear.

A few days ago, we stood in front of the @ec.europa.eu with one clear message: it’s time to end fur farming and fur trade in Europe.
From Members of the European Parliament to former fur industry leaders, from fashion advocates to animal protection volunteers: the call is united and urgent.

The EU has revised its Detergents Regulation to ban animal testing for cleaning products, mandating non-animal methods for safety testing.
This is a big win, however, EU's chemicals law, drives most animal testing & we're advocating for a full revision of this law: https://shorturl.at/64k5r

EU chemicals law says animal tests should only be a "last resort". But too often, animals are used despite non-animal options. Our Decision Tree tool aims to fix this. It's a simple guide that recommends animal-free methods first. As science advances, these become the ONLY option.

What’s the most effective way to reduce suffering for farm animals? 🐷🌱

In this episode of Humane Voices, we’re joined by two experts from our global farm animal welfare and protection team to explore two complementary paths driving real change.

Fur farming is already in decline, but animals are still paying the price. Europe has the opportunity to end this cruel industry for good.
Tell Commissioner Várhelyi: no more cages, no more suffering, no more fur.

Rescued from neglect and cruelty, they can finally run, play and enjoy life as it should be.

Because sometimes, the greatest victory isn’t a medal, it’s freedom. ❄️

Far from the spotlight of the Winter Games, some victories look a little different. 🐾

For the dogs at Humane World for Animals Canada’s Care and Rehabilitation Centre, playing in the snow is a moment of pure joy and freedom.

Now it’s up to the EU to end this cruelty once and for all.

Mink, fox, raccoon dog, chinchilla. Each one an individual, not a product.

EFSA’s 2025 report confirmed what we already knew: fur farming causes systemic welfare problems.

Each year, over 95 billion animals are raised and killed for food.
But around the world, changemakers are proving that a different future is possible. 🌍🐾

Together, we can end animal cruelty
