Mission
For animal rights. Against speciesism. We are committed to the realization of animal rights, such as (the right to physical and psychological integrity), the abolition of discrimination based on belonging to a particular species (analogous to anti-racism and anti-sexism), and, finally, to establish a vegan society.

The North American Animal Liberation Press Office (NAALPO)
Non-Profit Organization, USA
Press Office Directive
The North American Animal Liberation Press Office (NAALPO) was founded to communicate the actions, strategies, and philosophy of the animal liberation movement to the media and the public. Many of these actions are illegal under a current societal structure that fails to recognize the rights of non-human animals to live free of suffering, but validates and promotes the “right” of industries to do whatever they want to animals for profit or research. Within these conditions, those in the underground working for animal liberation often cannot speak out directly. Nevertheless, their actions and message is urgent and deserve to be heard and understood.
Since animal liberation actions either go unreported in the media or are uncritically vilified as “violent” and “terrorist” with no attention paid to the suffering that industries and individuals gratuitously inflict on animals, NAALPO seeks to clarify the motivation and nature of actions taken in defense of animals.
The Press Office also tries to provide a historical, social, and philosophical context for an objective understanding of the nature and motivation of illegal direct actions taken on behalf of captive animals. While the Animal Liberation Front, or ALF, is currently the most active liberation group, the Press Office will report on ANY act of animal liberation, and provide the press and general public with information on the actions and ideology behind them.
Disclaimer: The Animal Liberation Press Officers do not engage in illegal activities, nor do they know any individuals who do. Rather, the Press Office receives and posts communiqués from anonymous parties and provides comment to the media.

Sea Shepherd Conservation Society
Non-Profit Organization, Global
~also on Facebook!
Mission
Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit in the United States, and a registered Stichting in The Netherlands. It is a direct-action conservation group for people who are outraged by the inhumane acts of whaling, shark finning, long-lining, seal clubbing, dolphin slaughtering, or any other kind of ocean inhabitant destruction. It is led by Captain Paul Watson, a man whom author Farley Mowat calls “the world’s most aggressive, most determined, most active and most effective defender of wildlife.”
To date, the fleet (Neptune’s Navy) is responsible for ramming four whaling vessels and sinking eleven. In thirty years of operation, no one has ever been killed or seriously injured on a Sea Shepherd campaign.
Make no mistake. This isn’t Greenpeace.
This is SEA SHEPHERD!

Who We Are – Environmental Conservation
For more than 45 years, WWF has been protecting the future of nature. The world’s leading conservation organization, WWF works in 100 countries and is supported by 1.2 million members in the United States and close to 5 million globally. WWF’s unique way of working combines global reach with a foundation in science, involves action at every level from local to global, and ensures the delivery of innovative solutions that meet the needs of both people and nature.
Mission
WWF’s mission is the conservation of nature. Using the best available scientific knowledge and advancing that knowledge where we can, we work to preserve the diversity and abundance of life on Earth and the health of ecological systems by
* protecting natural areas and wild populations of plants and animals, including endangered species;
* promoting sustainable approaches to the use of renewable natural resources; and
* promoting more efficient use of resources and energy and the maximum reduction of pollution.
We are committed to reversing the degradation of our planet’s natural environment and to building a future in which human needs are met in harmony with nature. We recognize the critical relevance of human numbers, poverty and consumption patterns to meeting these goals.
Goal
By 2020 WWF will conserve 19 of the world’s most important natural places and significantly change global markets to protect the future of nature.
