The Asia for Animals podcast Asia for Animals

In this episode, we delve into the nuances of animal welfare advocacy in Latin America with Luis Sarmiento, Founder and Director of Proyecto ALA. With a rich background in animal welfare and protection, Luis shares his insights on the challenges and strategies employed in Latin America and discusses the parallels with Asian efforts in policy advocacy.

The conversation explores the importance of global policy forums, effective strategies for engaging national governments, and the benefits of collaboration between Latin American and Asian animal welfare advocates. Join us to gain a deeper understanding of cross-regional efforts and how they can inform and strengthen our advocacy work.

To round up International Macaque Week 2024, we explore the vital work of Social Media Animal Cruelty Coalition (SMACC) member organizations Lady Freethinker and Action for Primates in combating the exploitation of macaques in online cruelty content. We discuss the global reach of this issue and the challenges faced by animal advocates in getting social media platforms to take down abusive content.
