Animals in Asia need much more protection. The people working for these animals need much more support.

Animals in Asia are exploited in many ways. The industrialised use of animals is currently growing rapidly in Asia. At the same time, there are few laws to prevent animal cruelty. And there are very few animal protectionists compared to the huge scale of animal abuse. Although they are capable and dedicated, animal protectionists in Asia often work in isolation, under harsh conditions. They have to deal with severe animal suffering every single day, but lack the resources to make lasting improvements.

Protecting animals by professionalising people.

ACTAsia for Animals is a non-profit organisation set up by experienced animal protectionists to develop sustainable and professional animal advocates in Asia.
We are convinced that by building the capacity of local organisations and people working in the field of animal protection, we can secure a better future for animals in Asia.

- We provide detailed training on animal issues and sustainable activism to potential and current animal protectionists. Read more on our latest Workshop ' Sustainable Animal Advocacy: Developing Professionalism in China', 2007.

- We help local organisations to create and implement campaigns. We also help them to develop and utilise networks to campaign more effectively and provide support to each other.
