Funding scientific research to find practical solutions to animal welfare issues has been at the heart of AWF’s work since our inception.
We’ve invested over 3 million into cross species research which has contributed to the knowledge and evidence base on numerous topical animal welfare issues and informed government policies and legislation.
The purpose of our research funding is to:
- deepen understanding of animal welfare and lead to meaningful advancement in the field
- provide information and solutions to professionals working with the animals affected
- provide evidence-based insights and recommendations to shape legislation, regulations and guidelines related to animal welfare.
