As the Animal Welfare Hub reaches 29,500 evidence-based pages, we reflect on the scope of animal welfare and the work still ahead.
Reaching 29,500 pages is a milestone worth marking, but it is a point along a journey rather than a destination. Animal welfare challenges are vast — billions of animals in intensive farming, millions in inadequate captivity, and wild populations facing unprecedented pressure from habitat loss and climate change. The work of this hub is to make evidence-based welfare information accessible, so that individuals, communities, and institutions can make choices informed by the best understanding of what animals need to thrive. Each page, each reader, each action taken represents a small reduction in the immense burden of animal suffering in the world. We continue.
