BRING COMPASSION BaCK TO WILDLIFE CONSERVATION
Did you know that ‘conservation’ methods are often invasive, violent and lethal? Animals are viewed through a hierarchical lens, allowing some to live while others are 'culled'. The data shows these methods don’t resolve wildlife issues, in fact they frequently create more issues. As compassionate conservationists, Verify Humanity seek natural solutions that promote life and a natural balance for all animals.
WE ARE VERIFY HUMANITY
WHAT IS COMPASSIONATE CONSERVATION?
Compassionate conservation emphasises the well-being of individual animals as well as species and ecosystems. It seeks to prevent harm to animals by using kind, non-violent conservation methods.
Compassionate conservation also involves researching wildlife to uncover hidden, or mis-represented issues. It also aims to find solutions that benefit both humans and wildlife while promoting empathy and respect for all living beings.
Traffic is the biggest killer of red squirrels. They rely on wooded corridors to find their food, meaning they have to cross busy roads to move between increasingly isolated woodlands.
Compassionate Conservation Solution:
In-expensive rope bridges can be implemented to help red squirrels access food more easily and safely.
COMPASSIONATE CONSERVATION IN ACTION
Compassionate Conservation is saving red and grey squirrels. By recognising all animals as having the right to life, we can reject the culling of competitive species and develop solutions to the real problems that red squirrels face, such as traffic. Hover over the image to learn how!
END SPECIESISM, CHAMPION COMPASSION.
Speciesism assumes human superiority and has allowed us to construct a contradictory belief system where some animals are welcomed into our homes and others are exploited as insentient possessions. This is the belief system that has led to the Sixth Mass Extinction. It has normalised brutal processes such as factory farming, the illegal wildlife trade, entertainment killing, conservation culling and laboratory experiments.
Verify Humanity is on a mission to break down speciesist mindsets and show everyone how to get involved with compassionate conservation.
Whether it’s volunteering your time, signing petitions, being a voice for animals on government consultations, sharing our message, partaking in our research or helping animals yourself - like planting more flowers for the bees, there are lots of ways you can help wildlife.
HUMAN-WILDLIFE CONFLICT
Human-wildlife conflict is when encounters between humans and wildlife leads to negative outcomes, such as loss of property, livelihoods, and even animal or human life. Through our research we are identifying wildlife issues and finding compassionate solutions.
