May 20, 2026 in All Programs

Washington, DC—Today, the Animal Welfare Institute (AWI) debuted its newly modernized website, designed to make it easier than ever to learn about contemporary animal welfare issues and to take action for animals. Upgrades include evocative, vibrant imagery, enhanced accessibility, and improved performance—resulting in a comprehensive resource for researchers, students, educators, and animal lovers alike.

The updates include:  

• Expanded information about AWI priority issues and programmatic campaigns: Users can find information about important animal welfare issues and legislation, regulatory efforts, and AWI’s role in helping to shape important animal welfare and conservation measures globally under the new “Policy Efforts” page.  

• Fresh ways to get involved: AWI’s Action Center, where users can contact decisionmakers in just a few clicks, has been fully integrated into the site’s functionality, providing increased visibility into ways to take action for animals. In addition, a curated section of the site, entitled “What You Can Do,” lists further ways advocates can join in AWI’s work to shape a more humane future for animals.

• Enhanced accessibility: AWI wholeheartedly believes in the importance of making our tools and information accessible to all animal advocates. To that end, the site has been carefully designed to help enhance access and streamline the user experience.

• Improved performance: The site’s upgraded functionality and organization of content provide a more intuitive experience, putting key information at users’ fingertips.  

These updates will enhance the site’s ability to serve as an informational resource for visitors to learn about and engage with animal welfare measures around the globe.  

The website is now live—but our work is far from over. AWI continues to defend bedrock animal welfare laws from unprecedented attacks and advocate to strengthen and enforce existing animal protections—work that couldn’t happen without our supporters by our side.
