For more than 50 years, Brigitte Bardot has put her international reputation and her inexhaustible energy at the service of animals. With the creation of her Foundation in 1986, recognized to be public utility in 1992, Brigitte Bardot has surrounded herself with a solid team and has equipped herself with the tools to lead the fight for the animal cause, in France and around the world. Today, BB’s Ark is home to more than 6500 animals.

La Fondation Descroix-Vernier est une fondation privée, réglementée, Belge.

Elle a pour mission d’aider les plus pauvres : apport d’eau potable en Afrique subsaharienne, programmes d’aide aux sans logis en France, distribution de denrées alimentaires, de soins, etc. Une partie des budgets de la Fondation Descroix-Vernier est aussi affectée aux animaux, toujours dans la même logique : les plus faibles, les plus nécessiteux.

Elle est une Fondation d’un type particulier : elle ne fait aucun appel aux dons. Elle est chargée de partager la fortune de son fondateur, qui a fait le choix de redistribuer tout ce qu’il possède.

30 Millions d’Amis Foundation (a registered charity) fights on many fronts to defend and protect animals, as well as to educate younger generations to respect all forms of life.

Unique in France by the scope of its action and capacity to enhance public awareness in favour of animal welfare, the Foundation is a key player in the world of animal protection. Its struggles include actions against animal testing, the fur industry, bull fighting or wild animals in circuses, cruel battery farming etc…

As a preferred expert partner for public authorities, the 30 Millions d’Amis Foundation also helps to change legislation in favour of animals.
Its action is not restricted to France, but extends all over the world with added support and strength provided by a massive and highly-mobilised community, which is very active on social media.

SNDA was founded in 1972 and recognized of Public Utility in 1994.

The organization works to change the animal condition in the political and legal fields through contributions to various think tanks. It brings its expertise in legal and policy areas concerning the animal condition : companion, breeding, experimental, entertainment and wild animals.

For more than 45 years, SNDA has supported animal protection organizations in their campaigns in France and abroad. It is a partner of numerous projects carried out by associations selected for their skills in the field of animal protection and the preservation of biodiversity.

The Belgian Union for the Abolition of Experimentation on Living Animals, the Protection of Nature and the Environment aims to : promote any action aiming, both in Belgium and abroad, to have the animal recognized as a subject of law, to obtain in any field and discipline whatsoever, the abolition of experimentation on living animals (…) to promote any non-violent research method (…) the association may undertake any action having a direct or indirect link with its social goal. It may collaborate with other associations, Belgian or foreign, which have the same social goal or which are dedicated to the protection of animals, nature or the environment. (Moniteur Belge of 5 November 1981.)

The Association has supported and financially supports scientists in Belgium and in Europe in their work on alternative methods. It was a civil party in a high-profile lawsuit against the Erasmus Hospital (1999 – 2000).
