We share one planet with animals - both people and animals call planet Earth home. Animals have been with us for thousands of years. They fascinate, inspire and are vital in our lives - whether domestic or wild. Dogs are known as man's best friend and also help in security or herding farm animals; cats help in controlling pests such as mice and rats, and also scaring away of killing snakes. They also act as companions to people.

Wildlife in Kenya fascinates both local and foreign tourists - it also helps generate income for the Government. Whether it is on land like elephants, rhino, hippo, lions, antelopes and gazelles or in our ocean like coral reefs, whales and dolphins, they all play an important role and are part of the web of life.

Yet, animals are also threatened by human actions. For example, hunting, poaching, encroaching on their habitats leading to conflict, animal populations decline and extinction, getting entangled in fishing nets or being hit by ships, dumping of garbage and plastics, noise and chemical pollution, disasters brought about by climate change, the list is endless.

IFAW believes that animals "must be protected and cared for future generations. That we all have a role to play to ensure animals remain a part of the web of life. For this reason, we are encouraging young people to learn more about why animals are important, the challenges they face and what action you can take to make their lives and thereby those of human beings better.

There are different ways you can take part in IFAW Animal Action Programme:
