ABOUT US
FOR ALL LIFE
ANIMALS • NATURE • CLIMATE
Animal Rising is a nonviolent, people-powered, organisation working towards a sustainable future where humanity shares a positive relationship with animals and nature.
The animal farming and fishing industries are causing untold suffering to trillions of animals every year.
These industries, alongside fossil fuels, are a leading cause of the climate and ecological emergencies.
Urgent action is required to
protect all life.
THE CHALLENGE
THE SOLUTION
The key solution to these challenges is to support farming and fishing communities in the necessary and urgent transition to a sustainable and just plant-based food system.
​
This will provide an abundance of food on far less land, providing the space for nature to recover and wildlife to return; whilst still feeding our growing population and drawing down carbon from the atmosphere.
And, crucially, it will enable animals to live full, fulfilling lives
free from the suffering experienced on farms.
HOW WE
ACHIEVE IT
1. By generating a national conversation on the need to transform our food system with bold and impactful campaigns.
2. By supporting local people to create change for themselves by campaigning for 100% plant-based catering in influential institutions like Universities and Councils.
3. By building alliances with key stakeholders who are close to us, like within the climate and nature movements, and building bridges with those far away from us, like animal farming and fishing communities.
