Executive summary: A global survey of animal advocacy organizations reveals diverse strategies, with most pursuing multiple approaches and interested in expanding, but facing resource constraints and contextual challenges in adopting new tactics.
Key points:
Organizations use five main advocacy categories: large institutions, local institutions, individuals, direct animal work, and movement support.
Most groups pursue multiple approaches and are open to new strategies, especially policy and local institutional advocacy.
Larger organizations tend to engage in more diverse and institutional-focused approaches.
Local context, resources, and external influences significantly impact strategy choices.
Funding is the primary barrier to expanding advocacy approaches and the greatest challenge overall.
Recommendations: Improve funding accessibility, enhance knowledge sharing, and foster nuanced dialogue between advocates and funders.
