FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION: WORLD ANIMAL PROTECTION IS A GLOBAL ORGANIZATION WORKING TO END FACTORY FARMING AND WILDLIFE EXPLOITATION. WE EXPOSE CRUEL SYSTEMS, PROMOTE ANIMAL-FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVES, AND INFLUENCE POLICY CHANGE. FOR OVER 70 YEARS, WE'VE BEEN REWRITING THE STORY FOR ANIMALS. WORKING ACROSS ALMOST 50 COUNTRIES WITH OFFICES IN 12, WE'RE THE ONLY ANIMAL WELFARE ORGANIZATION WITH UN CONSULTATIVE STATUS, ENABLING US TO ENGAGE WITH AND INFLUENCE GLOBAL DECISION-MAKERS. WE PRIORITIZE ANIMALS IN FARMING AND WILD ANIMALS EXPLOITED FOR USE IN ENTERTAINMENT, AS PETS, AND IN FASHION. OUR VALUES OUR GLOBAL VALUES AND BEHAVIORS SHAPE EVERYTHING THAT WE DO. WE HAVE SEVEN VALUES THAT FORM A CENTRAL PART OF HOW WE WORK TOGETHER. 1. WE ARE GLOBAL 2. WE ARE DIVERSE, EQUITABLE, AND INCLUSIVE 3. WE ARE COLLABORATIVE 4. WE ARE AGILE 5. WE GROW OUR PEOPLE 6. WE ARE ACCOUNTABLE 7. WE ARE COURAGEOUS BY EMBRACING THESE VALUES AND BEHAVIORS WE WILL ACHIEVE OUR VISION AND MISSION FOR ANIMALS. OUR GLOBAL STRATEGY 2021-30 THERE ARE TWO PILLARS OF OUR GLOBAL STRATEGY FOR THE NEXT DECADE THAT HAVE UNIQUE GOALS BUT ARE INTERCONNECTED. FOOD SYSTEMS STRATEGY - WE WILL DRIVE THE GROWTH OF PLANT-BASED PROTEIN AND DISRUPT THE SYSTEMS THAT FUND AND DRIVE FACTORY FARMING. WE WILL EXPOSE THE IMPACT OF FACTORY FARMING ON ANIMALS, PEOPLE, AND THE PLANET, AND MOVING PEOPLE TO JOIN US TO CREATE NO FUTURE FOR FACTORY FARMING. WILDLIFE STRATEGY - WE BELIEVE THAT WILDLIFE HAS THE RIGHT TO A WILDLIFE. WILD ANIMALS MUST BE FREE FROM ANY FORM OF CRUEL EXPLOITATION AND THRIVE WITHIN ABUNDANT NATURAL HABITATS THAT ARE HUMANELY PROTECTED, FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL. OUR WILDLIFE STRATEGY WILL MOVE THE WORLD TO DEMAND AND ENSURE THAT WILD ANIMALS ARE VALUED AND PROTECTED IN THE WILD. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: ANIMALS IN THE WILD: PASSING LEGAL PROTECTIONS FOR BIG CATS. WE MOBILIZED OUR SUPPORTERS THROUGHOUT 2022 TO DEMAND THEIR LEGISLATORS CO-SPONSOR AND VOTE TO PASS THE BIG CAT PUBLIC SAFETY ACT (BCPSA). THE LAW BANS THE PRIVATE POSSESSION OF BIG CATS AND ENDS CUB PETTING ATTRACTIONS IN THE US. THE BILL PASSED THE HOUSE IN AUGUST AND WE FOLLOWED WITH A RENEWED CALL TO ACTION TARGETING THE SENATE, WHICH THEN PASSED THE BILL IN DECEMBER. IT WAS SIGNED INTO LAW BY PRESIDENT BIDEN THAT SAME MONTH. OVER 26,000 OF OUR SUPPORTERS TOOK ACTION IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL, SENDING NEARLY 60,000 MESSAGES TO LEGISLATORS, SINCE FIRST LAUNCHING ACTIONS IN APRIL 2020. BANNING THE SALE OF MOST ANIMAL SPECIES IN DC PET STORES. WITH OUR SUPPORT VIA CALLS TO ACTION FOR DC RESIDENTS AND DIRECT ENGAGEMENT WITH CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, WASHINGTON, DC BECAME THE SECOND CITY IN THE US TO PASS AN EXTENSIVE BAN ON THE SALE OF ANIMALS IN PET STORES. THE LAW BANS THE SALE OF MAMMALS, AMPHIBIANS, ARACHNIDS, BIRDS, AND REPTILES IN STORES, INCLUDING THE ONE PETSMART AND THREE PETCO LOCATIONS AROUND THE CITY. WORLD ANIMAL PROTECTION WAS THE ONLY ADVOCACY GROUP TO TESTIFY TO THE CRUEL CONDITIONS IN WHICH WILD ANIMALS ARE BRED AND SOLD IN THE US. OUR TEAM ALSO ENGAGED DIRECTLY WITH COUNCIL MEMBERS TO COUNTER INACCURATE CLAIMS MADE BY PETSMART, PETCO, AND THE PET INDUSTRY LOBBYING GROUP WORKING TO PREVENT TO BILL. LOCAL CHICAGO ARTIST JOINS OUR CALL AGAINST GROUPON. IN MARCH, WE LAUNCHED OUR CAMPAIGN DEMANDING THAT GROUPON ESTABLISH A PUBLIC ANIMAL WELFARE POLICY THAT PROHIBITS INCLUDING DEALS TO CAPTIVE WILDLIFE VENUES IN ITS BUSINESS. BETWEEN MARCH 23 AND APRIL 30 OF 2022, THERE WERE 17,577 SUPPORTERS THAT TOOK ACTION DEMANDING THAT GROUPON STOP PROFITING FROM ANIMAL CRUELTY. WE LAUNCHED A REPORT, DEVASTATING DEALS, OUTLINING NUMEROUS VIOLATIONS, ANIMAL DEATHS, AND EMERGENCIES AT EIGHT CAPTIVE WILDLIFE VENUES IN THE US THAT HAVE HAD DEALS FEATURED ON GROUPON'S SITE IN THE PAST. HEADQUARTERED IN CHICAGO, STREET ARTIST BLAKE JONES DEVELOPED THREE UNIQUE VISUAL PIECES FOR THE CAMPAIGN THAT WENT UP AS BILLBOARDS IN THREE NEIGHBORHOODS FOR FOUR WEEKS. THE ARTWORK FEATURED JONES' SIGNATURE "ANGRY BUNNY" CHARACTER, ALONGSIDE SEVERAL OTHER ANGRY ANIMALS, HOLDING UP SIGNS IN PROTEST OF GROUPON'S DEVASTATING DEALS. KIDS' ACTIVITY BOOK IS "WILDLY" POPULAR. WE LAUNCHED A NOVEL, BRAND NEW CHILDREN'S ACTIVITY BOOK, "WILD ANIMALS AREN'T PETS". WITH FUN AND ENGAGING PUZZLES, GAMES, AND COLORING PAGES, THE ACTIVITY BOOK PROVIDES FACTS AND STORIES THAT DESIGNED TO TEACH KIDS WHY LOVING WILD ANIMALS MEANS LETTING THEM LIVE IN THE WILD. SUPPORTERS CAN DOWNLOAD THE ACTIVITY BOOK VIA OUR WEBSITE, AND SEVERAL TEACHERS AND BOOKSTORES REACHED OUT INQUIRING ABOUT PRINTED COPIES. OUR US AMBASSADOR, NICOLE WILLIAMS ENGLISH, WENT LIVE WITH US ON INSTAGRAM TO SHARE THE ACTIVITY BOOK WITH HER FOLLOWERS AND HEAR FROM THE DIRECTOR OF PROGRAMS ABOUT HOW THE PET TRADE CAUSES SUFFERING FOR MILLIONS OF WILD ANIMALS. ANIMALS IN FARMING: EXPOSING THE HIDDEN OR OVERLOOKED IMPACTS OF FACTORY FARMING. WE LAUNCHED SEVERAL NEW REPORTS AND PUBLIC AWARENESS TACTICS EXPOSING THE MANY HARMS FACTORY FARMS INFLICT ON OUR PLANET, OUR COMMUNITIES, AND OUR HEALTH. OUR COLLATERAL DAMAGE REPORT DOCUMENTED THAT MORE THAN 235 MILLION POUNDS OF TOXIC PESTICIDES WERE APPLIED TO CORN AND SOY FOR FARMED ANIMAL FEED IN THE US IN 2018. THESE CHEMICALS THREATEN BIODIVERSITY AND WILD ANIMALS WHEN THEY DRIFT, LEACH, OR OTHERWISE ACCUMULATE IN THE ENVIRONMENT, AND THE REPORT CALLS OUT SEVERAL SPECIES MOST THREATENED BY COMMONLY USED PESTICIDES ACCORDING TO THE US EPA. WE ALSO LAUNCHED A GLOBAL REPORT, CLIMATE CHANGE AND CRUELTY, CALCULATING THE FULL EMISSIONS FOOTPRINT FROM FACTORY FARMING CHICKENS AND PIGS THE FINDINGS WERE COVERED IN RELATED ARTICLES BY VEG NEWS AND DELICIOUS FOOD, AND NOWTHIS NEWS (AN ONLINE MEDIA OUTLET) CREATED A VIDEO FROM THE FACTSHEET.

ADDITIONALLY, OUR GLOBAL HIDDEN HEALTH IMPACTS FROM INDUSTRIAL LIVESTOCK REPORT WAS AMPLIFIED BY US AMBASSADOR, MYA, ON HER SOCIAL MEDIA, WITH A REACH OF 1.8 MILLION FOLLOWERS. BRINGING PLANT-BASED TO THE PEOPLE. WE CONTINUED WORKING TO GET FREE, DELICIOUS PLANT-BASED MEAT ALTERNATIVES INTO PEOPLE'S HANDS TO TRY FOR THEMSELVES. OUR FOOD TRUCK EVENT IN WASHINGTON, DC HANDED OUT NEARLY 1,000 CHICKEN BACON SANDWICHES FEATURING PRODUCTS DONATED BY TINDLE AND HOORAY FOODS. WE SPOKE TO LOCALS AND TOURISTS ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF INCORPORATING MORE PLANT-BASED FOODS AND EATING LESS MEAT FOR ANIMALS AND THE PLANET, AND QR CODES ENABLED THEM TO SIGN UP FOR OUR MEAT REDUCTION RESOURCES. WE HEARD FROM MANY PEOPLE THAT THEY HAD NEVER TRIED PLANT-BASED MEAT BEFORE AND WERE ENCOURAGED BY THE EVENT TO EAT PLANT-BASED MORE OFTEN. ONCE AGAIN, MA PROVIDED INCREDIBLE SUPPORT. A DC-AREA LOCAL, SHE NOT ONLY POSTED ABOUT THE EVENT TO HER MILLIONS OF SOCIAL MEDIA FOLLOWERS URGING THEM TO COME OUT AND MEET US, BUT SHE ALSO CAME IN PERSON AND SPENT A COUPLE OF HOURS ENGAGING WITH OUR TEAM, THE PUBLIC, AND EVEN SERVING SANDWICHES OUT OF THE TRUCK. MOVING RESTAURANTS TO REDUCE ANIMAL PRODUCTS AND EMBRACE PLANT-BASED MENUS. IN 2022, KFC EXPANDED ITS TRIAL OF PLANT-BASED CHICKEN AND IHOP TESTED A PLANT-BASED BREAKFAST SANDWICH, FOLLOWING SEVERAL CAMPAIGN ACTIONS WE HAD RUN IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR.
