Wild experiences that protect animals

Dear Friend,

Because of you, wild animals are being protected where they belong – in the wild, living freely in their natural habitats.

Your support is helping push back against harmful industries, protect vital ecosystems and promote wildlife experiences that respect animals, instead of exploiting them.

This month, we wanted to show you a few of the ways your support is making that possible.

Protecting whales and the waters they depend on

In Golfo Dulce Whale Heritage Area, humpback whales return each year to give birth and raise their calves in calm, protected waters.

Because of you, this habitat is being safeguarded. Local communities, tour operators and conservation partners are working together to ensure these waters remain safe – so whales can rest, nurse their young and grow strong.

See the impact you’re making for whales.

Planning an adventure? Travel kindly for animals

The choices you make, even while travelling, can help protect animals.

Because of your support, more people are learning how to experience wildlife in ways that respect animals and the places they call home.

From avoiding attractions that allow direct contact with wild animals to choosing tour operators that respect natural behaviours, these small decisions add up to something powerful.

They help create a world where wildlife is protected and respected.

World Animal Protection ambassador, Siobhan Williams, is sharing her simple tips to help you make those choices with confidence – so every trip you take can reflect the care you already show for animals.

Ethical wildlife tourism is growing, and it’s happening because of people like you, friend.

Protecting animals starts on your plate

Ethical travel is also a reminder of how connected animals and ecosystems really are. The choices we make, including what we eat, can have a big impact on animals and the environment.

That’s why we encourage people to try adding one more meatless day each week. Eating less meat helps reduce demand for factory farming and the pressure it puts on animals and our planet.

Activities to help you get outside and enjoy nature!

You don’t need to travel far to experience wildlife.

Sometimes the best nature adventures happen right outside your door – in a local park, neighbourhood green space or even your own backyard.

The spring is a great opportunity to help kids (or adults!) slow down, look closely at the natural world and build curiosity about the animals and plants around them.

From wildlife bingo to backyard photography challenges, these simple activities encourage outdoor exploration while learning to observe and respect wildlife.

P.S. March 3rd was World Wildlife Day!

To celebrate, we’re sharing some of nature’s cases of mistaken identity... From animals that look almost identical to species (cheetah or leopard?) that are often confused for one another (frog or toad?), these wildlife look-alikes show just how fascinating and diverse nature can be. Think you can tell them apart?
