Information

Since its beginnings, the understanding of animal protection has been based on scientific findings. Since 1972, the German Animal Protection Act has been based in particular on veterinary and ethological knowledge of non-human animals. We therefore find it important that organizations of animal movements, journalists, decision-makers and other actors active in the field of human-animal relations base their work on current and recognized research.

As an interface between scientific findings and the above-mentioned actors, we provide well-prepared knowledge in this area. Do you have any questions? Contact us, we will support you with professional and science-based advice.

Use our resources for your activism. In addition to our own publications, such as our white papers, you will also find results from collaborations here. We would like to thank our project partners for enabling us to make this valuable content available to the animal movements. Browse through our publications and feel free to contact us if you would like to realize your own projects with us.
