About IFAW
Founded in 1969, the International Fund for Animal Welfare saves individual animals, animal populations and habitats all over the world. With projects in more than 40 countries, IFAW provides hands-on assistance to animals in need, whether it’s dogs and cats, wildlife and livestock, or rescuing animals in the wake of disasters. We also advocate saving populations from cruelty and depletion, such as our campaign to end commercial whaling and seal hunts.

We are sensitive to the needs of communities and work for solutions that benefit both animals and people.
History of IFAW
It’s been more than 40 years since a small group of concerned citizens banded together to stop Canada’s cruel commercial seal hunt. We’ve since grown into the most effective international organisation specialising in saving animals in crisis around the world. Today, IFAW works to protect animals in more than 40 countries – where we have identified both critical need and exemplary local partners.
