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.
