For A Better Tomorrow, Together
The pandemic has changed lives and lifestyles, prompting us to unlearn and relearn many aspects of life, including our interactions with each other and other living beings sharing the earth with us.
Despite the challenges COVID-19 has presented us with, we continue to serve as the voice of the voiceless, and are pleased to announce the AfA Conference 2021 on the theme: For A Better Tomorrow, Together, hosted by FIAPO and BCI.

Using Laws Creatively to Protect Nonhuman Animals
Animal cruelty should be confronted by all means, particularly through laws - laws that address animal cruelty directly and laws that do not seem related.

Asia for Animals Conference 2017
Changing Human Behaviour
Most animal suffering is caused by humans doing, or not doing, something. The way we treat animals, the products we buy and the entertainment we seek can all cause suffering. To help animals, we must change the hearts and minds of humans. But changing human behaviour is not as simple as telling or showing people that animals suffer. And raising awareness of the needs of animals, through education, will not necessary lead to behavior change.

Partnerships Breed Success
The conference aims to provide a platform for those working on animal welfare and wildlife management in this region to network, exchange ideas and build lasting collaborations. By sharing experiences, information and technology, delegates are therefore able to develop practical and viable strategies to address the key challenges related to animal welfare and wildlife management particularly in developing countries.
