Voices from CARE
It's by far my favourite conference in the world
Aaron Ross
Fortify Negotiations
This is one of my favourite conferences because it has relaxed vibes and everyone feels welcome. It feels like a gathering of friends. The team makes a huge effort to make it a good use of time for all attendees and focus the conference on the topics that matter most for farmed and wild animals.
Sofia Balderson
Hive
For us, activists from Central Asia, CARE is a great opportunity to feel part of the global animal advocacy movement, to synchronise with it, and to learn from our different circumstances.

Conferences like CARE are absolutely essential in order to build an impactful and strong movement, both in Europe and globally.
Kirsty Henderson

I think it's really important that we get together to share ideas, learn from each other, challenge each other too.
Mahi Klosterhalfen
Albert Schweitzer Foundation
Whether it's your first time or you're a seasoned conference-attender, CARE is always a super-inspiring event that brings you new knowledge and ideas, helps recharge your batteries, and connects you to the kind of people you'd want to reboot civilization with in case everything falls apart.
Tobias Leenaert
Proveg International
This conference is great for the movement. It's great for building mobilization and building support among advocates.
Olga Kikou
Animal Advocacy & Food Transition
This conference can help us achieve building capacity to win for animals.

Hope to see you at CARE!
CARE Conference is organized by Anima International – an animal protection organization working across Europe and neglected regions. We believe that sharing knowledge and resources makes the movement stronger, and that the biggest gains for animals will come from focusing on impact and effectiveness.
