animal welfare

We all love animals and they play an important part in our lives. From the dogs who are our constant companions, to the cows roaming the streets in India, the elephants who roam Laos and the lions across Africa, they each have an important part to play in our ecosystem. As sentient beings, they experience joy, pain, and companionship and are deserving of care and respect. 

On a GIA trip you could find yourself helping to feed and bathe elephants, nursing baby orangutans, caring for dogs, looking after cows and other farmyard animals or monitoring and assisting with the care of sea turtles.  Every small action has a positive impact in the lives of these animals and will help you to understand how vital it is that we protect and care for them.

Whether you're rehabilitating wildlife, tending to abandoned pets, or advocating for legislative change, your actions reverberate with the promise of a kinder world, where animals thrive alongside humanity.
