TESTIMONIALS

‘Daniel took us into the depths of Animal Welfare and taught us in a fun and interesting way about the Do’s & Don’t’s of animal activities in tourism. We all find it really helpful, eye-opening and inspiring. I am glad our company works together with ANIMONDIAL and I can highly recommend them for any other tour operator.’ – Svenja Ciriack, CoTravel / DER Touristik Suisse

‘The training delivered by Helen and Daniel was excellent and we had such positive feedback from all those who attended. ANIMONDIAL helped shape our animal welfare guidelines and the training involved all stakeholders from the UK business. Their knowledge of the subject is outstanding, and the training was delivered in a way which helped everyone understand why the topic is so important and definitely helped inform the way our teams work. I’d have no hesitation recommending the ANIMONDIAL team, they have been and continue to be an invaluable support.’
– Rachel O’Reilly, Head of Communications, Kuoni UK

‘I consider it vital that our future tourism graduates appreciate the importance of animal welfare in tourism. Over the years, Daniel’s ​strategic efforts have been instrumental in helping industry, in the UK and beyond, achieve considerable advancements in improving animal welfare. The students particularly appreciated learning about the challenges – and opportunities – the matter can present to industry.’
– Sean Owens, Lecturer in International Tourism Management at Manchester Metropolitan University (former Sustainable Product Manager at TUI Group)

‘Explore wholeheartedly support the work of ANIMONDIAL. With animal welfare sitting at the heart of so many of our trips, we needed a robust policy that will protect the wildlife around us for generations to come. Their knowledge, passion and objectivity will shape your programme as it has ours.‘ – Prue Stone, Global Head of Sustainability, Explore! & Hotelplan

‘The workshop delivered by Daniel and Helen really hit the mark – the whole team came away feeling engaged and empowered. As everyone in our company had the chance to be involved, they really felt like they had a voice to influence the direction our business is going with, not only animal welfare, but wider environmental and social issues in our destinations.’
– Caroline King, Product Manager, Rickshaw Travel

‘We all honestly felt like we could listen to you all day, that it was a very insightful presentation, and that it fit with what was needed. Can’t fault you for your passion! And some of the examples you gave do elucidate your points very clearly: this is a complicated topic and it is good to understand the many different ways that positive outcomes can be achieved. Thank you again.’
– John W. Sutherland, Manager of Corporate Social Responsibility, Collette

ANIMONDIAL provided a worthwhile seminar on animal welfare in tourism which highlighted some key areas of interest for our members.’ – Kate Kenward, Executive Director, AITO

KEY FACTS

Wild Zebras

Biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse is ranked in the top three greatest threats to humanity (Global Risks Report, 2022).

1 in 4 plant and animal species (approx. 40,000) are now threatened with extinction (IUCN Red List).

Climate change and biodiversity loss are intertwined, driven by the same human activities, and can only be tackled together (IPCC & IPBES, 2021).

Unsustainable human activity has already caused the loss of 83% of all wild mammals and half of all plants (WEF, 2020)

93% EU citizens consider biodiversity loss a serious or very serious issue (EIU, 2021)

The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services identifies the five direct drivers of change in nature have accounted for more than 90% of nature loss in the past 50 years (IPBES, 2021)

ANIMONDIAL seeks to minimise tourism’s impact on animals, natural environments and the people that depend upon them through effective communication and strategic partnerships.
