AWI is committed to safeguarding marine species and their habitats and protecting marine mammals held for captive display and performance. Efforts focus on curbing humankind’s harmful impact by urging governments and other decision makers to halt or prevent damaging actions, as well as educating the public and others about the deleterious effects their actions can wreak on the oceans’ inhabitants. www.awionline.org.

EAST researchers uncover cruelties and injustices of which society would otherwise not be aware. EAST also believes that effective change needs to happen at a legislative level, as well as through awareness-raising and institutional education. Besides advocating for better welfare for companion animals, farm animals, wildlife and experimental animals, EAST actively engages in many environmental issues.
