  In order to maximise the speed at which the World Animal Day initiative grows, we are seeking to appoint ‘World Animal Day Ambassadors’ throughout the world. All our Ambassadors are highly motivated, passionate about animals and their welfare and committed to encouraging support for the World Animal Day initiative.

Our Ambassadors will help connect millions of people and achieve our goal for the animals: to be successful in uniting the animal welfare movement throughout the world, embracing all animals and the unique concerns of each, in every country. Increased awareness of animal issues cannot fail to eventually lead the way to improved standards of welfare throughout the globe. And what an achievement that will be!

We continually receive wonderfully inspiring comments from our Ambassadors and other animal advocates around the world. Here is the latest one:

"What World Animal Day is doing for animals is truly influencing all of us in amazing ways."

JILL ROBINSON MBE - Adviser to Asia's World Animal Day Ambassadors

As Asia is such a huge continent, we are seeking to appoint Ambassadors in as many countries as we possibly can. With this in mind, we thought it would be a very good idea to appoint an adviser - someone with a wealth of knowledge and expertise on Asian animal welfare issues who would be well equipped to hold this very important role. We feel that many potentially great Ambassadors would be more willing to come forward and offer their services if they know they have someone to call on for advice, should the need arise. As Jill has all the necessary qualifications and has been our Ambassador in Asia, naturally she was our first choice! We are delighted that Jill agreed to take on this role.

 
     
 
 
  WE ARE ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED TO INTRODUCE YOU TO OUR WORLD ANIMAL DAY AMBASSADORS:  
 

 

Here are a few examples of the type of tasks our Ambassadors carry out in their own countries:

  • Contact organisations, groups, sanctuaries, individual animal welfarists etc. encouraging them to organise events in celebration of World Animal Day, on or around 4th October;
  • Contact animal-related websites encouraging them to create a website link to help spread the word about World Animal Day;
  • Contact national celebrities asking them for a written pledge of support that can be added to the website ‘Celebrity Support’ page, to help maintain a truly ‘international feel’;
  • Submit articles to newspapers, magazines, radio and television leading up to 4th October in order to maximise media coverage which, in turn, will increase involvement in celebrations.

As a token of our appreciation for carrying out this prestigious role, each Ambassador has a dedicated page on the World Animal Day website to enable them to tell the world about their animal welfare work. If you click on the links below you will be taken to their webpages.

If your country isn't yet represented and you, or someone you know, might be interested in taking on this prestigious role, then please send an email to Caroline at World Animal Day. Although we need one person to be named as 'Ambassador', if a team of people or an organisation wish to take on this role this is perfectly acceptable.
