Animal welfare efforts focus on developing and emerging countries, where there are virtually no measures in place to protect animals. Here, the WTG provides assistance through sustainable animal welfare projects as well as emergency aid during acute crises.
World Animal Protection (WTG): Strengthening Animal Welfare Globally in a Sustainable Manner
The World Animal Protection Society (WTG) is a nonprofit organization based in Berlin that is primarily committed to sustainably improving the living conditions of stray, farm, and wild animals in developing and emerging countries. The goal is to strengthen local animal welfare through long-term measures and to improve animal health care—especially in areas where there are currently few structures in place for the protection of animals. In its animal welfare projects and through its educational program VETS UNITED (VETERINARIANS WORLDWIDE), the WTG works closely with local partner organizations and also promotes animal welfare awareness among the general public through educational initiatives and active dialogue.
Rapid Assistance for Animals in Crises and Disasters
The challenges facing animal welfare continue to grow worldwide. Natural disasters such as earthquakes, wildfires, droughts, and floods, as well as political instability, wars, and other crises, not only affect people but also have a direct impact on animals. Through the WTG Emergency Relief Fund, the organization takes responsibility in acute crisis situations and provides rapid assistance to animals—both in the Global South and in neighboring European countries. In 2025, the association used the WTG Emergency Relief Fund to carry out urgent animal rescues in Ukraine and Gaza, among other places, as well as following the devastating earthquake in Myanmar. This immediate assistance is also provided through long-term projects, such as those in Indonesia and Suriname, where the loss of international funding (particularly from the United States) in 2025 threatened structures that had been built up over many years.

Animal Welfare and Wildlife Conservation: On-Site Medical Care and Education
The example of donkeys illustrates just how diverse the work of the World Animal Protection Society is, even beyond these new challenges: In many rural regions of Kenya, for instance, a project provides veterinary care to donkeys suffering from poor living conditions and the consequences of the illegal trade in donkey hides. Together with its partners, the WTG relies on mobile clinics and the training of veterinarians and community members. At the same time, important preventive measures are carried out through educational outreach. This combination underscores that effective animal welfare work combines medical assistance with on-the-ground education.
The WTG also adheres to these principles in its work to protect and rescue wild animals. Whether due to habitat loss, poaching, or the illegal trade in wildlife products—wild animals face numerous threats. Through various projects, the organization supports local rescue centers and rehabilitation facilities. Whether caring for injured and orphaned animals or implementing measures to mitigate human-wildlife conflicts—the WTG offers assistance, for example, in projects to care for elephants and pangolins or to combat the wildlife trade. This commitment is complemented by awareness-raising efforts here in Germany as well, such as through #StopptTierleid, a social media campaign against animal suffering. The goal is to prevent the spread of cruel content—an issue that is having increasingly dramatic consequences, particularly for wild animals that are trafficked and abused as pets.
Impact, Sustainability, and Transparency: The WTG in Numbers
In 2024, the World Animal Protection Society was active in a total of 58 projects, programs, and campaigns across 23 countries—its most extensive reach to date. The organization will continue this commitment in 2025 as well, focusing on impact, sustainability, and transparency in all areas of its work. On www.welttierschutz.org/transparenz You can access all of the financial reports from recent years and see that the WTG has joined the Initiative for a Transparent Civil Society.
In 2024, 83.5% of expenditures went directly toward project, campaign, and outreach work in Germany and abroad, as outlined in our bylaws; 5.1% was allocated to rescue and emergency aid, and 8.3% was used for campaign and outreach work (Source: 2024 Annual Report). To date, we have been able to donate 25,650.00 euros to the organization. We would like to continue this commitment—because through its combination of sustainable project work and rapid assistance in emergency situations, the World Animal Protection Society makes an indispensable contribution to animals worldwide.
