The Wildlife Selfie Code
The Amazon rainforest is famous for its diverse wildlife. And the number of tourists who want to take selfies with its fascinating animals is rising fast. Sadly, this has led to exploitation.
Past Campaigns
Championing the cause for animals since 1950
For more than 70 years, World Animal Protection India has been advocating to put an end to cruelty and suffering towards animals. During this period, we have expanded our reach and impact. We have played a pivotal role in elevating the importance of animal welfare on a worldwide level, bringing about notable advancements in the treatment of both farm and wild animals.
