About

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Logo_transparentIn recent years there has been a dramatic change in how people perceive other animals. Elephants, cats, birds, and others are now understood for what science has documented – we are kin under skin, fin, feather, and fur.

Various learning-in-service programs takes this knowledge of animal sentience and empowers people to make the change for animals. We provide interdisciplinary courses, mentoring, and internships that bridge and bring together science, tribal knowledge, animal protection, and conservation. Reflecting the philosophy that learning becomes meaningful only when linked with action, our courses combine classroom learning with practical hands-on work with our many sanctuary and conservation partners.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
