The Africa Network for Animal Welfare is involved in projects that span from policy formulation, animal rescue, protection, care and management as well as animal intervention activities for sustainable development. Our Policy work involves being in the forefront to lobby policy makers ,relevant authorities, mobilizing and sensitizing media and stakeholders with a view to pushing for the formulation and implementation of effective animal welfare and wildlife conservation policy and legal frameworks. We continually pursue effective legal frameworks for the Management and Conservation of Wildlife to help tackle issues such as human-wildlife conflict, poaching, sport hunting and compensation for communities living in wildlife regions.
We are working closely with communities and stakeholders to check and reverse the rapid decimation of Lake Naivasha, a fresh water body relied upon by over 400 bird species, wild animals and the neighboring agricultural and pastoral communities.
We have dismantled about 3,000 wire snares and rescued alive over 15 wild animals in four different wildlife areas in Kenya. We are also engaging Coastal Waatha and Taita Peoples in our seeking for sustainable alternatives to bush meat trade and habitat destruction which is rampant in the wildlife rich Kenya’s coastal region.
Our work with domestic animals includes Spay Neuter and anti-rabies vaccinations for dogs and cats, emergency response for animals in distress, campaigns against crude live animal transportation, hawking in pets, circuses and harmful cultural activities involving animals such as bull-fighting in Western Kenya and bare handed bull killing in Kwa Zulu Natal region of South Africa.
