Model Law for Fish Welfare
Our Animals & Biodiversity Programme team is working on a model law for fish welfare. The team (led by Wasseem Eman) consists of fish welfare scientists and marine and fish welfare legal experts. We are working in partnership with other organisations.
Digital Inclusion - Policy Paper Series

Mapping Food Production and Biodiversity in Africa
Our Animals & Biodiversity Programme team is developing a spatial model of where the most biodiverse regions of Africa overlap with regions that are key to food production. This is an interdisciplinary project consisting of remote sensing and spatial planning experts, working with anthropologists, ecologists and lawyers.

Roundtable Animal Legal Personhood
Including ACTAsia and IALA speakers : Padma Vebkataraman, Catherine Besch, Hira Jaleel, and Mo Honjo. The increasingly widely established discipline of Animal Rights Law is often discussed from an Anglo-American perspective. It is critical to move towards more diversity, knowledge transfer, and exchange of ideas in Animal Law. With the support of our partners ACTAsia and The Institute of Animal Law Asia, the Animals and Biodiversity Think Tank Programme hosted a roundtable to this end.
Climate In/ Justice & Marginal Communities
With explicit changes in climate and its effects being observed more conspicuously, it is found that the impacts are faced majorly by the frontline troops comprised of socially disadvantaged and marginal communities around the globe, especially from the Global South. Focused on how marginal/native/indigenous communities around the world are adapting/reducing their exposure to disasters and raising awareness about the importance of reining in the risks that they face.
