HSI is dedicated to protecting all wildlife from cruelty, exploitation, and loss of habitat. Our offices around the world strive to stem the commercial trade in wild animals, to safeguard sensitive habitat, and to secure better protections for threatened and endangered species through international treaties and their enforcement. HSI also supports conservation and education efforts in local communities aimed at promoting respect and compassion for the wild creatures around them.

	Free Trade Agreements HSI serves as an advisor on environmental matters that arise in the course of free trade agreement negotiations.

	Treaties HSI participates in international agreements that either directly or indirectly affect animals.

	United Nations The United Nations, created to preserve peace among nations and foster international cooperation and collective security, also addresses social and environmental matters.

	World Trade Organization HSI works to ensure that animal welfare, environmental, natural habitat and endangered species issues remain at the forefront of international trade negotiations.

	Climate Change According to a 2006 report by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, the livestock sector emits more greenhouse gases than cars and SUVs. [PDF]
