ENDCAP in brief

ENDCAP is a pan-European coalition of animal welfare NGOs and wildlife professionals from countries throughout Europe, whose members specialise in the welfare and protection of wild animals in captivity

ENDCAP brings together likeminded organisations to share knowledge, expertise and ideas, supporting those members with limited resources to develop and succeed

ENDCAP works to uphold national and international legislation that aims to secure high levels of animal welfare and seeks to ensure it is effectively enforced

ENDCAP campaigns for higher standards and the greater protection of wild animals in captivity in Europe – Europe’s Forgotten Animals

ENDCAP ultimately aims to END the keeping of wild animals in CAPtivity through education, advocacy, scientific investigation and lobbying

ENDCAP was established in 2006 by the Born Free Foundation (www.bornfree.org.uk) to consolidate, and amplify the work of animal welfare organisations in Europe. ENDCAP harmonises and increases understanding to ensure a united voice advocating higher welfare standards for wild animals in captivity.
