Story

The Animal Protection Agency Foundation was set up to carry out and commission research into the impacts of the wildlife trade on individual animals, biodiversity and the natural environment, as well as the risks of infectious disease transmission between wildlife and people. The Foundation conducts awareness raising programmes on all issues concerning the trade in wild animals as pets. By concentrating resources on tackling the exotic pet trade, the Animal Protection Agency aims to achieve real and lasting results for animals and their environments. We also aim to help protect people from making the mistakes of acquiring wild animals or pet-linked disease. Staff members have years of experience in campaigning for animal protection and specifically in thwarting the unlawful activities of wild animal dealers. Supporting APA Foundation is an integrated team of scientific, veterinary and legal advisors that includes specialists in exotic animal welfare, conservation and public health.
