Our Mission

AEL Advocacy is Canada's first and only intersectional animal and environmental law organization.

​

We strive to create a legal system that recognizes the interdependence between humans, animals, and the environment, and we are committed to supporting individuals, communities, and organizations working towards this shared goal. Through our in-depth knowledge of the legal and political landscape, we aim to secure a better future for all animals and their habitats by advocating for their protection, providing educational resources, and offering legal support.
