1. National conversation
Bold, high-profile campaigns that put animals, climate, and food-system change on the front page — and keep them there.
About us
Protecting animals. Restoring nature. Tackling the climate crisis.
Animal Rising is a nonviolent, people-powered organisation working towards a sustainable future where humanity shares a positive relationship with animals and nature.
The challenge
Animal farming and fishing are driving the crisis.
These industries cause widespread suffering to trillions of animals — and are a leading cause of the climate and ecological emergencies. Yet they're rarely named in the climate conversation.
That changes when ordinary people take bold, coordinated action.
The solution
A just transition to a plant-based food system.
We can produce abundant food on far less land, allow nature to recover, and end farm-animal suffering — while supporting farming and fishing communities through the transition.
The barriers aren't technical. They're political.
Our strategy
Three things, done together.
2. Local advocacy
Supporting communities to push for 100% plant-based catering in public institutions — schools, hospitals, councils.
3. Alliances
Working alongside the climate and nature movements, and with farming communities, to build the coalition that wins.
