Founded in 1969, the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) has grown into the most effective global organization saving animals in crisis, protecting animal populations, and conserving habitats throughout the world. Through projects in more than 40 countries, IFAW implements field conservation projects, fights illegal wildlife trafficking, rescues individual animals, and provides hands-on assistance to animals in need. By raising public awareness, providing animal education programs reaching millions of adults and children, and advocating for laws that protect animals and their habitats, IFAW works to create a better world for animals and people.
