Our mission
Animals Asia is devoted to the needs of wild and domesticated
species in Asia. We are working to end cruelty and restore
respect for animals across Asia.
Our vision
Change for all animals, inspired by empathy for the few. Our
animal ambassadors embody the ideal that empathy for one
animal can evolve into empathy for an entire species and
ultimately for all species.
Message from our board
Our ambitious project to turn a Chinese bile farm into a
sanctuary for the 130 bears trapped inside made 2014 our most
challenging year to date. We needed your support like never
before and when we asked for it, you gave it to us. Without you,
we could not have achieved our aims, not only for the animals,
but also for the future of our organisation. Thank you all so much.
