My Nonprofit Reviews

Animal Defenders International is by far the most effective, self-sufficient AND efficient animal protection organization out there. They have a unique, holistic approach to securing protection for animals--they don't just run campaigns or urge those in government to enact animal protection laws, they're there from start to finish. From research and undercover investigations, to helping governments enforce bans (such as rescuing animals from circuses after a country bans animal circuses), ADI is there following through 100%. Beyond that, all you have to do is look at the transformation of the animals they've rescued, to know just how effective they are in fulfilling their mission and being clear on their vision.

I've had the pleasure of volunteering for Pan African Sanctuary Alliance for a little more than a year, helping out with their social media. It has been incredible to see the work they make possible--ensuring their member sanctuaries get the support they need to remain effective in rescue, conservation and education to save primates and their habitats throughout Africa. It's also great to volunteer with such passionate and dedicated people. Whether by donating or volunteering (and this can be done entirely remotely), you can be a part of this inspiring organization that works tirelessly to secure a future for endangered species whose existence is continuously under assault.
