Disaster Response Hub
For over 70 years, World Animal Protection has moved fast to rescue and protect animals affected by disasters. Our legacy continues today as we support our partner organizations on the ground with our Disaster Response Fund, which provides critical aid to animals in the hours and weeks following a disaster event.
