Our Work

How We Work

Animal welfare and health

Our welfare assessment techniques offer guidelines on animal handling, hoof care, harnessing and more.   
Advocacy and policy

We work closely with policy makers and civil society organisations at global and national levels.

Key Issues

Donkey Skin Crisis

Hundreds of thousands of donkeys are slaughtered for their skins and exported annually, mostly from Africa, causing donkey numbers across the continent to decimate. Will you stand against the slaughter of working donkeys?
Exploitative industries

Thousands of equids work in exploitative industries worldwide, including brick kilns, coal mines and tourism.
Sustainable development

Working horses, donkeys and mules are critical to their owners’ livelihoods. They support income generation in agriculture, tourism and transport.

How we decide where we work

We have a number of criteria to help us decide which countries we should work in, such as the need for animal welfare, the communities that work with animals and the levels of poverty. Learn more.
