From building connections across borders to discovering new strategies for impact, this conversation unpacks how AFAD serves as a powerful platform for collaboration, growth, and renewed motivation within Asia’s farmed animal movement.

Tune in for heartfelt reflections, practical insights, and a glimpse into how regional advocates are shaping a more compassionate future for animals.

Welcome to the "Shelter Fatigue" Podcast Series by the Dog and Cat Coalition (DACC)! Join Cica, Lead Coordinator of DACC, and Henna Pekko, Managing Director of Rescue P.A.W.S. Thailand, as they discuss the pressure shelters face when it comes to making decisions and why it’s okay to acknowledge our limits. This conversation is a reminder that no shelter or rescuer is facing these challenges alone, we are in this together.

To celebrate World Orangutan Day, we release a podcast with the Centre for Orangutan Protection to explore one of the most powerful journeys in orangutan conservation: the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of orangutans back into the wild. Through stories from the field, insights from experts, and a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges of orangutan rehabilitation, this episode delves into the emotional and ecological complexities of reintroducing orangutans to their natural habitat. We welcome Hardi Baktiantoro and Indira Nurul from the Centre for Orangutan Protection, one of the organizations that works on the frontlines of orangutan conservation in Indonesia.
