behavior; to relieve animal suffering; to prevent animal cruelty, abuse, neglect,

and exploitation; and to protect wild animals and their environments.

Humane Society InternationalVision Statement

Humane Society International envisions a world in which people meet the

physical and emotional needs of domestic animals; protect wild animals and their

This word to you is being written at a time when

A u s t r a l i a n’s are about to face the spectre of a new

Federal Government and new uncertainties in a

world significantly changed in the period since the

New York tragedy on September 11, 2001.

Whether these events will make our job any

h a r d e r, only time will tell, but governments will

have their minds elsewhere, as economies

continue to falter and a global war erupts. The

onus on Humane Society International, and

organisations like ours, will therefore be greater

than ever, to ensure that all animal and

environmental considerations are not sidelined by

other political imperatives. HSI’s vision in

developing a more humane, sharing and

ecologically sustainable world, bustling with

compassionate and caring consumers, will not be

d i v e r t e d .

We will aim to be innovative, employing a range

of actions and programs that must be as diverse

and as unique as the creatures and places we are

striving to protect. A wonderful example of the

kind of innovative approaches needed, can be

found in South America, where, working with a

local community organisation and the Pe r u v i a n

Government, HSI has financially supported the

Canine Task Fo r c e. The Canine Task Fo r c e is made

up of adult dogs from shelters, who are trained in

detecting smuggled and endangered wildlife,

helping fight illegal animal trade activities within

and outside Pe r u .

HSI’s existing programs and staff, employing

scientists, lawyers and professional lobbyists, gear

their efforts and work towards new and effective

approaches for protecting animals and their

environment. Our successes to date have been

numerous, and you can be assured that the

commitment of our staff (and our volunteers) is

second to none, and there will be many more

victories to come. But if we are to succeed in the

long run, it can only be with the financial support,

and the very active and personal involvement, of

people that care. As HSI President Paul Irwin told

his American supporters recently, "Social change is

not a spectator sport. It’s a participatory activity,

and we need your participation each and every day

to be effective".

HSI Wildlife Protection Programs in Asia...

The focus of HSI’s Asian wildlife protection activities

has remained in Indonesia, where one of the Great

Apes, the Orangutan, remains in dire jeopardy.

This fabulous animal is still suffering from the

destruction of its rainforest habitats and from the

demands of the domestic and international pet

trade. HSI continues to work with The Friends of

the National Park Foundation (Yayasan Pecinta

Taman Nasional) in Kalimantan, also helping local

villagers to benefit from the existence of the

rainforest and its wild inhabitants.

We have supported the Nyaru Menteng Orangutan

Reintroduction Project in Kalimantan, helping them

with finances to survey the suitability of an island

site to be used as a penultimate destination for

Orangutans in their final rehabilitation stages.

Other partnerships have been with the Animals Asia

Foundation, supplying resources to help rehabilitate

Asiatic Black Bears, freed from horrific and so-called

`Bear Farms’ in China. HSI has also been involved

in helping to protect

endangered Giant Pandas in China.

We have contributed also to the rehabilitation of

thousands of fresh water turtles in Vietnam through

Fauna and Flora International (Cuc Phong Turtle

Conservation Project), and the protection of

threatened marine turtles and other wildlife in Bali

and Indonesia, through our continuing support for

the highly capable activist group, KSBK (Animal

Conservation for Life).

Wildlife and wild places on the African continent,

remain as imperilled as ever, and HSI Australia,

in partnership with HSI Washington, and our

parent organisation, The Humane Society of the

United States (HSUS), are providing much

needed rescue resources.

We have supported anti-cruelty activities in

Kruger National Park, and joined the HSUS with

its important immunocontraception work with

elephants, at the Makalali Land and Wildlife Tr u s t

Sanctuary in South Africa. In Kenya, HSI, with

funds from the Baker Trust and in cooperation

with the Born Free Foundation and the Colobus

Trust, has been helping to protect threatened

Colobus monkeys.

In African Guinea, again through the Baker Trust,

HSI has made financial contributions supporting the

Centre de Conservation de Chimpanzee, run by

Estelle Raballand, which cares for orphaned and

highly endangered chimpanzees.

Back to elephants, the HSUS has given significant

financial help to improve the management and size

of Addo National Park in South Africa, famous for its

fantastic elephant populations. While in Tanzania,

HSI has funded jointly, with the Born Free

Foundation, the costs and upkeep of a small, energy

efficient, anti-poaching plane in Ruaha National Park.

HSI has also supported elephant protection in

Amboseli National Park in Kenya.

HSI and HSUS also undertake extensive domestic

and international political work, particularly through

treaty processes, to protect wildlife in Africa.

HSI is becoming involved in an increasing number

of animal welfare outreach programs. HSI

recently sponsored, jointly with IFAW

(International Fund for Animal Welfare), the Hong

Kong SPCA, and PAWS (Philippines Animal

Welfare Society) an international conference in the

Philippines called `Asians for Animals’. This

meeting brought together animal activists from

around the region together for the first time, to

discuss a range of trade and animal welfare issues.

HSI has supported the work of the Bali Street Dog

Foundation (Yayasan Yudisthira) in Indonesia, while

our joint activities continue with the Tara Pr o j e c t ,

supporting street dog programs with the Nepalese

Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

In addition, the HSI family works on a range of

animal welfare issues around the globe, in such

places as India, Korea, Taiwan, China, Vietnam,

Jamaica, The Bahamas, Romania, Colombia, Costa

Rica, Bolivia, Cuba and South Africa. HSI has been

working to ban the trade in cat and dog fur in

Europe (and Australia) and with the United

Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO )

helping education in developing countries,

promoting humane management of domestic and

farm animals.

HSI offers resources and help to community

groups across the globe, via electronic means,

including The HSI E-Library (in English, Spanish and

Chinese) and through the problem-solving forum,

A n i m a l i A (Animal information Alliance) used daily by

enthusiastic subscribers in over seventy countries.

This very broad program includes HSI’s work on

endangered species and habitat protection and

broad biological diversity policy activities. HSI still

maintains an extensive legal ` N o m i n a t i o n s

Pr o g r a m ’ seeking protection for wildlife and their

habitats across Australia, under Commonwealth

and State law, and taking part in subsequent

recovery actions.

Key successes this year include the protection,

under powerful Commonwealth law, of over one

million hectares (approximately 2,500,000 acres)

of endangered wildlife habitats; well exceeding our

`One Million Acres’ campaign goal. We have also

continued to propose to the Commonwealth

Government the listing and protection of many

more millions of acres of critical habitats. HSI has

been taking on a range of legal and political

actions, to try to stem ongoing legal and

illegal landclearing activities, gaining success

by having landclearing and climate change

recognised as key threatened processes under

Commonwealth and State law.

HSI’s national `Report Card’, which reviewed how

all governments were implementing wildlife and

habitat protection programs, was released late last

year, and has been followed up by the publication

of a biodiversity policy plan entitled, `The

Extinction Debt and how to deal with it’, prepared

by consultants Community Solutions and HSI’s

Community Biodiversity Network. All these

combined efforts have helped us make important

gains for wildlife protection in Australia this year.

Wildlife and Habitat Protection Program...

HSI continues to give priority attention to very

public issues of human/wildlife conflict. As the

human population in Australia continues to

expand, with creeping urbanisation and expansion

of farming activities, wildlife suffers accordingly.

HSI attempts to solve such problems in favour of

animals and people, attempting to set legal

precedents as we go.

We have continued to focus activities on fruit bat

protection in Victoria and NSW, with ongoing

Freedom of Information court actions. This year

we have found ourselves in the Supreme Court of

Victoria, seeking a ban on the shooting of Grey-

Headed Flying Foxes in Melbourne’s Royal Botanic

Gardens. While unsuccessful, the killing was

eventually stopped, and HSI is still fighting for

nation-wide protection for the species. Work has

been maintaining our legal investigations into the

protection of Dingoes and prohibitions/improved

controls on 1080 poison.

Seals have also become a victim of human conflict,

with large numbers being caught as bycatch in the

East Coast trawl fishery. HSI has been working

hard to ensure that such a bycatch is reduced to

`zero’ and that guns be removed from all fishing

boats, in the wake of a number of seal shootings

over the past year.

HSI campaigns when wildlife is killed and traded

for commercial purposes, seeking action in the

courts (possums and wallabies in Tasmania this

year) and has increased its international efforts to

protect all wildlife from global trade, including illicit

trade in bear parts. We have also been fighting

proposals for native animals as pets.

The campaign to protect the creatures of the

world’s oceans is one without boundaries. The

many threatened mammals, birds, reptiles and fish

that inhabit the world’s seas are not contained by

political boundaries.

Nonetheless, HSI’s work in protecting marine and

migratory species both domestically and

internationally has often been successful. In

Australia, we have been very happy to help fund

the Yolngu People in the Northern Territory to

continue their work in disentangling endangered

marine turtles caught in discarded fishing nets along

the north coast of Australia. HSI also took part in

international governmental negotiations to secure

two new conservation agreements under the

Migratory Species Convention, for both marine

turtles and albatrosses in the Southern Hemisphere.

HSI’s work on the protection of the world’s shark

species has continued apace. In Australia for

example, we have succeeded in having the Grey

Nurse Shark listed as `critically endangered’ under

Commonwealth law and continue as a member of

the national recovery team. Our increasingly

successful campaign to stop shark "finning" also

continues to gather national and international

momentum.

HSI’s international work to protect the great whales

has consumed large amounts of our time, and our

campaigns for the protection of the Southern

Bluefin Tuna, Eastern Gemfish and Patagonian

Toothfish have kept the political pressure on.

HSI is dedicated to the development and

implementation of alternates to the use of animals in

the various fields of research, education and product

testing. To complement our Humane Education

Loans Program (HELP) HSI has been offering a

number of small grants to community organisations,

of between $500 and $1000, as a contribution

towards local, regional or national activities, aimed at

reducing animal use.

Examples of the types of activities that HSI support

includes: development of interest groups within

universities where students may support the use of

alternatives in their education; development of

education resources; general public education;

computer modelling; conference presentations or

papers; other publications and other carefully

targeted advocacy activities. Our greatest interest is in

ensuring that projects will positively affect the use of

animals in research, education and product testing.

HSI’s Humane Education Loan Program (HELP),

which provides alternate tools to animals in research,

has taken off this year with requests from schools

and universities coming in at a steady rate.

Resources have been dispatched to all states and

territories even as far a field as Hong Kong. We

have been able to provide information to a number

of universities on suitable resources to purchase as

they develop programs that replace animal use.

HSI also been involved in a range of other animal

welfare campaigns.

The Community Biodiversity Network

The CBN is HSI’s major community outreach initiative. With core funding provided by the Federal

Environment Department, the CBN works on a number of fronts to increase public understanding, support

for, and action to conserve our biodiversity. It also helps organisations and groups network and share expertise

and experience on biodiversity community education. It is managed jointly with World Wide Fund for Nature

Australia and the Australian Museum Centre for Conservation and Biodiversity Research.

The EPBCA (Environment Protection & Biodiversity Conservation Act, 1999) UNIT

The EPBCA Unit is a joint project of HSI and World Wide Fund for Nature Australia, which offers information

and advice to any person wanting to know more about the new Commonwealth Environment Protection and

Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. As a result of the Unit's success, HSI and WWF have secured a second

year of funding from the Commonwealth.

The National Bush for Wildlife Coordinator

The ‘Bush for Wildlife’ National Coordination project started over a year ago, with the aim of promoting and

enhancing wildlife and habitat protection on private land across Australia. This project aims to increase the

uptake of legal protection schemes by landholders, and to improve the quality of support provided by

governments to those who are voluntarily conserving Australia’s natural heritage. The program is funded by

the Commonwealth and managed jointly with Community Solutions.

The HSUS was founded in 1954 to promote the humane treatment of

animals and to foster respect, understanding and compassion for all

creatures. Today its message of care and protection embraces not only

the animal kingdom but also the Earth and its environment. To achieve its

goal, The HSUS works through legal, educational, legislative, and

investigative means. The HSUS's efforts in the United States are facilitated

by its ten regional, its worldwide outreach is supported by its global

humane family of organisations, representing over 7 million supporters.

The HSUS Wildlife Rehabilitation Training Centre (WRTC) in West

Barnstable, Massachusetts, provides treatment for injured or orphaned

wild animals, as well as hands-on wildlife rehabilitation training to

veterinary students and the wildlife rehabilitation community. Centre staff

present training seminars both at the WRTC facility and throughout the

country. The WRTC veterinary clinic conducts preceptorship programs in

wildlife veterinary medicine, a program that provides hands-on wildlife

rehabilitation training to college students, veterinary students, veterinary

technician students, and the wildlife rehabilitation community.

Humane Society International (Australia) is part of a very large and global humane family, led by The Humane

Society of the United States (HSUS), which collectively represents over 7 million supporters. The various

family programs and organisations are involved in working for animals and the environment in many parts of

the world, promoting effective protection policies and actions wherever they are needed.

In Australia, we are now one of the largest national organisations in the country and this growth is planned to

continue. Our programs are now reaching throughout the Asian region, in an attempt to offer much needed

help to local organisations fighting animal protection issues. The following briefly introduces the major

components of our ever - developing international family.

The globalhumane family

The Humane Society of the United States

The HSUS Wildlife Rehabilitation Training Centre

CRLE was founded in 1968 to foster an ethic of compassion toward all

sentient beings and respect for the integrity of nature. This ethic urges each

of us to expand HSI's moral concern to future generations; to poor,

oppressed, and disenfranchised human beings; and to animals, plants, and

the earth as a whole. Publisher of the highly regarded Earth Ethics, CRLS

focuses on higher education, religion, the professions, and the arts in

promoting a humane and sustainable future for the entire earth community.

CRLE also supports organic and humane sustainable agriculture.

The Humane Society of the United States Wildlife Land Trust works with

landowners worldwide to protect wild animals by permanently preserving

their natural habitats. Lands protected by the Trust provide wild animals

with a safe and nurturing environment, free from harmful human

interference. Recreational and commercial hunting and trapping are

strictly prohibited on Trust-protected sanctuaries.

The Wildlife Land Trust currently protects 57,095 acres in 18 US states

and three foreign countries. Bequests will bring another 1,414 acres in six

states and one foreign country under Trust protection. in addition, the

Trust is currently processing 69 properties comprising 14,000 acres.

The global environmental arm of The HSUS EarthVoice works to promote

an international appreciation of the deep connections between kindness

towards individual animals, concern for groups and species of animals, and

the preservation of Earth's life-support systems. EarthVoice is committed to

fostering humane, sustainable development and protecting biodiversity.
