Harnessing Global Power to Bring Positive Change

s chairman of ifaw’s board of directors, i am very proud of the organization for the accomplishments highlighted in this annual report. I volunteered to be part of the ifaw family because I believe ifaw is the leading animal welfare organization in the world with the power to bring lasting change for animals and people. Nothing Ais as gratifying as engaging in an activity you feel about strongly. The breadth of ifaw’s programmatic e∑orts, the depth of campaign expertise and scien- tiﬁc knowledge, and the commitment of every sta∑ member make ifaw a dynamic organization able to reach out to every corner of the globe. ifaw’s growing Board of Directors is also bringing an important range of talent and experience to the organization. As you read through the accomplishments of Fiscal Year 2004, I hope you will share my enthusiasm. From strengthening the infrastructure of world-renowned wildlife reserves, to extending whale research and education across the earth’s oceans, to acknowledged expertise in emergency relief for animals in distress, ifaw has the global power to bring positive change. As humans we have the ability to take care of other animals, and the responsibility to do so. I know you share this belief because of your own commitment to our work. I am deeply grateful for your compassion and generous support. thomas c. ramey

Breaking New Ground in Animal and Human Welfare

his has been a year of landmark achievements at ifaw. Our newly launched state-of-the- art sailing vessel, Song of the Whale, has expanded capabilities that will enable new discoveries to protect whales and other marine life, and foster a greater understandingT of threats to the marine environment. Song of the Whale is a highly visible ambassador for whales and an innovative training platform for scientists and students. ifaw’s groundbreaking partnership with the Kenya Wildlife Service to reinvigorate and restore Meru National Park is a great success. With improved security and facilities, there are now more than 1,000 animals living safely in Meru. We are carrying these lessons and expertise forward to restore Tsavo National Park, Kenya’s largest park. Having made tremendous progress with Community Led Animal Welfare (claw) in the townships of South Africa, we are establishing claw projects in other areas of the world to bring comprehensive and consistent health care and education to the poorest of the poor.

11 Restoring and Protecting Habitat

Four years ago, the Kenya Wildlife Service (kws), with support from ifaw, embarked on a project to revive Meru National Park. ifaw dedicated us$1.25 million to reestablish the Park’s operations, revamp security e∑orts, enhance biodiversity, and develop tourism in the Meru Conservation Area. Fiscal 2004 saw the successful completion of the first phase of translocation activities. To date, a total of 1,168 animals have been translocated into Meru National Park.

Bringing Pet Care to Communities in Need

In many developing countries, dogs and cats su∑er from neglect and poor health. To address this important need, ifaw’s Community Led Animal Welfare (claw) program brings owner education and basic veterinary care to the world’s poorest communities. claw has been serving the townships and informal settlements around Johannesburg, South Africa, for 10 years. During ﬁscal year 2004, more than 2,400 pets were spayed, including four feral cat colonies that now have zero population growth. claw clinics in 23 communities are attending to more than 1,000 cats and dogs per week. Since January this year, two education o≈cers have visited 22 schools where they spent several days with each class, showing the claw education video and answering children’s questions. This has resulted in increased awareness of kindness to animals, and more children attending clinics and reporting cruelty cases. We have also had two successful school holiday projects in Durban Deep, where children are given a meal and educated on pet care and respect for the environment. ifaw’s claw-initiated food garden has been very successful. Initially established as one community garden to help supplement nutrition in poor townships, claw is hosting workshops for other organizations working of hiv/aids patients.

13 Hope for Dogs and Cats in Korea ifaw is working with the Korean Animal Protection Society (kaps) to build a state-of- the-art animal sanctuary in South Korea. The sanctuary will establish a new standard for animal care in South Korea, o∑er a safe haven for abused and abandoned dogs and cats, matching up pets with people who want to provide a loving home. It will also serve as a center for public education that encourages responsible pet ownership over the practice of pet consumption. A location, in Oakchun District, near Daejun, has been chosen. Dur- ing 2004, ifaw has been partnering with kaps in e∑orts to get the South Korean government to amend the 1991 Animal Protection Law to increase protection for dogs.

Animal Action Around the World ifaw’s Animal Action Week ran in 12 countries, reaching more than 750,000 participants and tens of millions of people through the media. Key goals of this annual event are education, public awareness of animal issues, and supporting ifaw’s campaign work.

The “Karl Kaus Stiftung Für Tier und Natur” (Karl Kaus Foundation for Animals and Nature) was founded in 1994 to protect and care for the animal kingdom. Germany‘s Karl Kaus Foundation found its place among others in cooperation with large animal welfare and conservation associations, but also in aiding small projects, thanks to its flexibility and willingness to help. The Foun- dation’s outreach ranges from long-running species protection projects via public education initiatives to the support of animal shelters. A main concern has been animal welfare in the Eastern European countries. To that end, for the past three years, the Foundation has been

helping TESS, IFAW’s Moscow Mobile Clinic. The clinic is committed to spaying/neutering and supplying veterinary care for the many homeless dogs and cats in the northern part of Moscow.

“We were surprised by the versatility of IFAW when we first became involved in their work,” commented Dr. Liselotte Klaproth, daughter of the founder. “We wish IFAW many more major donors in their activities for the good of animals around the world.”

When Mrs. Marjorie Wallace (pictured here with Mick McIntyre, IFAW’s Australia

Director) learned of IFAW’s work to stop the Canadian commercial seal hunt, she thought it was a worthy campaign and established a relationship with IFAW. That was 10 years ago and she remains a dedicated donor today.

A resident of Australia, Mrs. Wallace contributes to IFAW because it is a large, global organization that can educate and encourage governments about animal welfare campaigns, such as saving the whales, ending the seal hunt, and banning ivory trade. Her primary interest is stopping animal cruelty. “Animals can’t speak for themselves; we must speak for the animals,” she said. Mrs. Wallace also wants to ensure that animals do not become extinct and will

live on for future generations to experience. She feels IFAW’s efforts to educate peo- M. MCINTYRE W/ FA

“One person can’t do very much. However, if we all combine our support we can work stronger together through IFAW,” she said.

IFAW is grateful to Mrs. Wallace for her generous contributions to save animals from cruelty and extinction.
