Animal Action Week is now in its 17th year. It is organized by International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) in 16 countries all around the world and reaches many more thanks to the internet.  This year, EU-China Biodiversity Programme will join with IFAW on this interesting Animal Action Week in China.

There are activities for everyone, but the focus is mainly on young people. Its goals are education, awareness and campaigning. Becoming involved in Animal Action Week is your chance to play a part in saving animals around the globe by taking action. This year with Under One Sky we are exploring concepts of biodiversity, habitat and bonds between animals and people. You could participate in our education programme by watching AAW video, signing in for our composition/drawing/drama competition, or designing a cotton shopping bag, etc.

Animal Action Week launches activities that continue throughout the year. Although attention is focused around the actual week, activities are far from limited to just those seven days. Many people get involved long before and continue with their efforts well after the official week. Seven Days That Can Change The World… …and a Year of Action for Animals!
