The International Fund for Animal Welfare

works to improve the welfare of wild

and domestic animals throughout the

world by reducing commercial exploitation

of animals, protecting wildlife habitats,

and assisting animals in distress. ifaw seeks to

motivate the public to prevent crueltyto animals and to promote animal welfare and

conservation policies that advance

the well-being of both animals and people.

IFAW plays a leading role in understanding the dynamics of elephantpopulations in southern Africa. In partnership with the ConservationEcology Research Unit (CERU) of the University of Pretoria, scientistsare exploring the theory that elephants across the subcontinentcould act as one large population to help develop a pragmaticregional approach to elephant conservation. © IFAW / J.

MAKING A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE FOR ANIMALS AND PEOPLE

AS YOU REVIEW this ifaw annual report, I hope you will notice the many ways

our work and mission distinguish ifaw among animal welfare and conservation

organizations.

ifaw links compassion for animals with sound science,innovative policy and pragmatism. This integrated approach enables

ifaw to create real solutions — solutions that work for animals and people.

Of course, it is your support that enables ifaw to make a real difference in

this world. From collaborating with Massachusetts’ lobstermen and government

officials to protect endangered North Atlantic right whales... to restoration projects

to safeguard wildlife and habitat in Meru and Tsavo national parks... to community-

linked efforts to protect companion animals we hold closest to our hearts... your

contributions are working to build a better future for all the earth’s inhabitants.

Thanks to the generous support of our donors, ifaw staff members are on the

ground, helping and advocating for animals every day of the year, working in 15

ifaw offices and more than 50 countries worldwide. ifaw’s growth and increasing

impact around the world are testament to your commitment to animal welfare.

LEADING THE WAY WITH INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS

THOMAS C. RAMEY

AS CHAIRMAN of ifaw’s Board of Directors, I have the rewarding opportunity of

viewing the many ways in which ifaw is charting the course in animal welfare.

Our new education and research vessel Song of theWhale is showcasing nonintrusive techniques for studyingwhales that provide a wealth of knowledge on marine mammal behavior and

distribution without harming them or their ocean habitat. ifaw is also the driving

force promoting whale watching as a sustainable commercial replacement for whaling,

which provides coastal communities with sources of income that will flourish as long

as whales grace the oceans.

Learning from our success revitalizing Kenya’s Meru National Park, ifaw is

breaking new ground in habitat and wildlife restoration at Tsavo National Park

where, sadly, animal populations have been devastated by human intervention. By

protecting habitat and combating poachers in Kenya’s largest park, ifaw is helping to

sustain complex ecosystems that enhance life for all nature’s shareholders.

Through Community-Linked Animal Welfare (claw) that brings veterinary

care to companion animals in areas of great need, ifaw promotes the health of the

whole community and raises the esteem people hold for their pets... and for all life.

With Emergency Relief efforts that have gained global recognition in oil spill

response and wildlife rescue, ifaw is saving tens of thousands of seabirds and other

animals in times of crisis.

As you read about ifaw’s innovative solutions to animal welfare challenges in

this annual report, I hope you will join me and others in continuing to support

ifaw’s important global work. ifaw is making a difference.

PRIORITY COMMITMENTS

IFAW SEEKS TO ENSURE THAT CRITICALANIMAL AND HUMAN NEEDS ARE METACROSS THIS EARTH WE SHARE. THESEPROGRAMS AND PROJECTS BRIDGE THEORGANIZATION’S MISSION TO IMPROVETHE WELFARE OF ENTIRE SPECIES ANDINDIVIDUAL ANIMALS WHILE BENEFITINGPEOPLE AS WELL.

FOCUS AREAS FOR SUPPORT

• Ecosystem Conservation in Tsavo National Park

• Global Whale Conservation

• ifaw’s Song of the Whale

• Community-Linked Animal Welfare (claw)

• Emergency Relief

• IFAW Animal Action Week

• Fighting Commercial Seal Slaughter

• Protecting and Rehabilitating Bears

Over the course of the past fiscal year, ifaw hasmade measurable gains in a number of our priorityareas.

As we began to build on our success with theKenya Wildlife Service with a five-year $1.25 million plan to revitalize Tsavo National Park, theelephants, giraffes, rhinos, leopards and otherwildlife reintroduced to Meru National Park roamedfreely and in safety.

More than 4,000 dogs and cats werespayed/neutered in communities in South Africa,Canada and Russia where affordable veterinary carewas lacking through ifaw’s Community-LinkedAnimal Welfare program.

Off the shores of Massachusetts in the USA,2,100 miles of dangerous floating line has beenreplaced with sinking line that reduces the risk ofwhale entanglement. This program was initiated andcarried out by ifaw in a unique partnership withlobstermen and the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

A FOUNDATION WITH FORESIGHT FOR COMMUNITY CONSERVATION

The Bosack & KrugerCharitable Foundationwas started by twosuccessful entrepre-neurs who wanted togive something backto the world. One ofthe foundation’s maininterests is protectinganimals and they felt that IFAW’s work

fit well with their mission. “We liked IFAW’sfocus on problem-solving in the community,”said Kathy Savesky, the foundation’s ExecutiveDirector. “Animal problems are ultimatelyhuman problems and solutions need to derivefrom what’s happening in the community,” she added.

Sandy Lerner, one of the foundation’sfounders, has an incredible comprehension ofproblems facing wildlife. “Even when there’s a will, developing nations often lack theresources to protect wildlife,” Ms. Saveskyexplained, “and IFAW gives them theresources.”

The foundation has funded IFAW’s efforts to train Kenya Wildlife Service pilots and sup-port anti-poaching patrols, based on our goodinternational reputation. Ms. Savesky has beenimpressed with IFAW’s credibility in so manydifferent cultures and likes the fact that IFAWcountry program staff comes from the countrythe office is in. “Your campaigners are on theground and understand the issues,” she said.

Through their generous support, theBosack & Kruger Foundation is protecting indi-vidual animals, and entire species, all aroundthe world. PHOTO OF S. LERNER © P. ZDEPSKI

ifaw’s Emergency Relief team rescued andcared for tens of thousands of animals following devastating disasters including the Asian tsunamiand hurricanes in the USA.

Around the world, three-quarters of a millionchildren and adults learned more about the trade inwild animals through IFAW Animal Action Week, theworld’s largest animal welfare event.

In addition, global attention brought pressureto bear on those who continue to sanction the hunt-ing of whales and killing of seals. Song of the Whalecharted new territory for ifaw in marine mammalresearch, education and public awareness.

As you read about our work in this annual reportfor July 1, 2004–June 30, 2005, know that your support for ifaw continues to make a difference.

THANKS TO YOUR SUPPORT OVER THEPAST FISCAL YEAR, IFAW HAS PROTECTEDTENS OF THOUSANDS OF ANIMALS ANDCRITICAL HABITAT AREAS.

IFAW’S AMBASSADOR FOR WHALES

ifaw’s new education and research vessel, Song of theWhale, made its first voyage to Iceland last summerto conduct offshore whale research and raise aware-ness about the threats to whales. The research teamshowcased ifaw’s noninvasive whale research, anapproach that doesn’t injure whales or disturb theirhabitat. These techniques include using underwatermicrophones to listen to and track whales and taking photographs of individual whales for photo-identification catalogs. ifaw scientists studied thedistribution and vocal behavior of sperm whales,orcas and large baleen whales.

A number of Icelandic scientists and studentsjoined this maiden voyage to learn about ifaw’sresearch techniques. Between trips out to sea, theteam hosted open visiting days in ports aroundIceland so the curious public could learn aboutifaw’s whale conservation work and methods forstudying whales without harming or disturbingthem.

Unfortunately, Iceland began whaling again in2003 despite the nation’s expanding and very suc-cessful whale-watching industry. It is crucial thatwe continue working in Iceland and other countries,

and teaching new generations of scientists aboutifaw’s groundbreaking research techniques.

Last autumn, Song of the Whale sailed to theMediterranean Sea to conduct a survey of spermwhales. Little is known about Mediterranean spermwhales but the species is threatened by human activ-ities, such as fishing and shipping. ifaw’s researchwill provide important baseline data for a futureMediterranean basin-wide survey to assess spermwhales’ abundance and conservation status. In early2005, the team conducted groundbreaking investi-gations of the remote coasts of southwest Moroccoand Mauritania, an area of previously unstudied but potential habitat for critically endangered monk seals.

ifaw donors contributed US$1.2 million tobuilding this unique research vessel, which utilizesstate-of-the-art computer and recording equipmentand sophisticated soundproofing and propellerdesign to facilitate cetacean acoustic studies andminimize disturbance.

PROTECTING ELEPHANTS AND COMMUNITIES IN KENYA

At Meru National Park, enhanced security hasincreased tourist numbers from a low of 1,696 in1997 to 5,914 in 2003. Wildlife populations areflourishing and the growing number of prey specieshas attracted more predator species back into thepark, reducing conflicts with surrounding commu-nities. These developments are benefiting both animals and people.

To bolster security and infrastructure in Meru,IFAW provided Kenya Wildlife Service (kws) withanti-poaching equipment and helped repair securityvehicles, restore water systems and build rangerquarters and fences to curb human-wildlife conflict.In partnership with KWS, ifaw helped relocate morethan 60 elephants to Meru, along with 611 commonzebras, 411 impalas, 23 white rhinos, 71 reticulatedgiraffes, 128 bohor reedbucks, 18 leopards, and 1black rhino. A mark of success: Three of the whiterhinos have given birth to healthy babies.

ifaw is using this successful model to helpsecure Tsavo, the largest national park in Kenya.

Once teeming with elephants, rhinos and otherwildlife, Tsavo has faced tremendous challengesfrom poaching and human encroachment. The vastsize and remoteness of the park make it excellentelephant habitat, but also enable poachers — mainlyfrom neighboring Somalia — to gain easy accessundetected. During the last 25 years, the elephant

population has decreased from 42,000 to a low of5,300 in 1988. Today, it is still only 25% of the1970s population. The black rhino population wasvirtually wiped out.

ifaw has already supported pilot training anddonated a light aircraft to kws for patrols in Tsavoand other protected areas. We also helped equip therangers’ recreation hall in Tsavo West.

ifaw is committed to raising $1.25 millionover the next five years to implement this project.During this time, based on strategies put in place atMeru, ifaw and the kws will rehabilitate roads foranti-poaching patrols, repair and purchase vehicles,rebuild firebreaks, provide radio communicationequipment, repair ranger housing and provide fieldequipment.

ifaw will also partner with kws to supportcommunity projects that will enhance wildlife con-servation and build goodwill from communities,such as constructing dams and water pans, buildingfences and initiating a community-owned wildlifesanctuary.

As part of efforts to increase the elephant popu-lation, ifaw will supplement the Kenya WildlifeService’s research monitoring activities to aid reloca-tion of animals from areas of conflict into the park.To protect wildlife, we are intensifying securityoperations by establishing patrol bases in differentsections of the park.

Increasing tourism will provide long-term sus-tainable solutions for this magnificent ecosystem.The enhancement of Tsavo promises to be one ofifaw’s most important and enduring projects.

REPLACING DANGEROUS LOBSTER GEAR

As part of our efforts to protect the last remainingNorth Atlantic right whales, ifaw helped lobster-men, too. We financed the replacement of 2,100miles of dangerous floating lines with sinking line.Floating lines increase the risk of entanglement forright whales feeding or swimming through an area.The newly developed sinking line greatly reducesthe risk.

This innovative project was made possible by a$660,000 challenge grant from the National Fishand Wildlife Foundation — and collaboration withthe Massachusetts Lobstermen’s Association,Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries, SenatorTed Kennedy and Congressman Bill Delahunt.ifaw donors, foundations and corporations madegifts to support this work, and 300 lobstermen participated in the project.

HOLDING COMMERCIAL WHALERS AT BAY

ifaw is also working at the International WhalingCommission (iwc) and with governments world-wide to try to put an end to whaling for commercialpurposes, and to counter threats to the whales’ oceanenvironment, such as underwater noise that can disturb and kill cetaceans, and fishing gear that cancause accidental death through entanglements.

ifaw was pleased that the Southern Oceanremained a whale sanctuary following its successfulreview in 2004. However, despite the whalingmoratorium, more than 1,300 whales were killedthat year, almost all under the guise of scientificresearch. At the 2005 iwc meeting in June, iwcmember countries passed a strongly worded resolu-tion calling on Japan to withdraw a new “scientific”

whaling plan that will result in a doubling of thenumbers of minke whales killed within the SouthernOcean Sanctuary. We must intensify our efforts inthe months ahead.

ifaw is determined to stop whaling for com-mercial purposes and is now widely recognized as adriving force behind the growth and development ofresponsible whale watching, which is a far moreprofitable and sustainable use of these wondrous natural resources.

WORKING TO END SEAL SLAUGHTER

Last March, ifaw brought journalists from aroundthe world to observe Canada’s commercial seal hunt,resulting in growing international condemnation.Still, 317,672 harp seals were killed.

Thanks in large part to ifaw’s efforts, legisla-tion that would ban seal products is advancing in a number of countries. Belgium, Italy and theNetherlands are all considering bans on seal prod-ucts. The Austrian parliament has asked theAustrian government to present the country’s strongconcerns about the seal hunt to the Canadian government. The Mexican Senate condemned thehunt and asked for a ban on seal products under theNorth American Free Trade Agreement (nafta). In February, the US Senate introduced a resolutioncondemning Canada’s hunt for the second year in a row.

THE WORLD’S LARGEST ANIMAL WELFARE EDUCATION EVENT

In its 12th year, ifaw’s Animal Action Week reachednew heights with more than 750,000 children par-ticipating in what is now the largest animal welfareevent in the world.

The theme for 2004 was “Keep Wildlife Wild!”and focused on the trade in wild animals, whetherfor food, fashion, traditional medicine, tourist souvenirs or exotic pets. The goals of Animal Action Week are education, public awareness andcampaigning.

This year, students, teachers and people from allwalks of life in 12 countries participated. Activitiesincluded a free educational video, a classroom activi-ty guide, a pledge campaign, web-based game, calendar design competition, and Animal ActionAward nominations of special people who did some-thing outstanding for animals.

Thousands of schools participated in a dozencountries. In the United States and UnitedKingdom alone more than 5,000 schools joined in.

RUSHING TO THE RESCUE

Following the deadly tsunami that struck SouthAsia in December, ifaw Emergency Relief (er)teams rushed to aid people and animals. Workingalongside humanitarian organizations, we tended to the animals that were often the survivors’ onlycomfort.

ifaw er teams joined local animal agencies inproviding care for 10,000 animals in India, SriLanka, Thailand and Indonesia. From vaccinatingdogs, cats and livestock, to distributing more than 8

tons of food, to helping reestablish turtle conserva-tion research stations, the er team worked to helplocal communities cope with this disaster.

ifaw’s er team also responded after hurricanesdevastated parts of Grenada and southern Florida,aiding more than 650 dogs and cats.

Our expertise in oil spill response and wildliferescue has achieved global recognition, makingifaw the world’s leading animal emergency relieforganization. The er team responded to a numberof spills or incidences of chronic oiling in Brazil,Canada and Mexico. ifaw also conducted two oiledbird training workshops in Japan, one on rescue andrehabilitation and one on contingency planning.

In March, staff from ifaw and the WildAnimal Orphanage rescued three lions, eight tigers,two leopards and four wolves from deplorable conditions in Nevada, and relocated them to theOrphanage’s sanctuary in Texas. Meanwhile, ifaw’spolicy work helped pass a bill in Arkansas prohibit-ing the ownership of lions, tigers and bears, and aregulation in Kentucky banning the keeping of bigcats, primates and other dangerous wildlife as pets.

There are an estimated 20,000 big cats kept in private ownership across the USA and many sufferin inadequate conditions. ifaw works to address thisproblem by relocating animals from substandardfacilities into sanctuaries that provide quality, lifelong care and by changing public policy on astate-by-state basis to prohibit the ownership of bigcats as pets.

BUILDING COMPASSION FOR ASIAN DOGS AND CATS

As part of our efforts to stop the human consump-tion of dogs and cats, ifaw is working closely withthe Korean Animal Protection Society (kaps). InSpring 2005, ifaw learned that the South Koreangovernment planned to introduce hygiene controlsfor the slaughter of dogs for human consumption.Working with kaps and other organizations, ifawprotested this development. It now seems that letter-writing campaigns and calls have stopped this pro-posal, although it has not yet been fully abolished.

HELPING PETS AND COMMUNITIES

ifaw’s successful Community-Linked AnimalWelfare (claw) project, which brings veterinarycare to pets in some of the world’s poorest commu-nities, gained momentum. In South Africa, wherethe project began, ifaw supports claw in treatingapproximately 3,000 animals per month at 27 loca-tions near Johannesburg and two others in theWestern Cape. As people from neighboring commu-nities learn about claw, more of them are bringingtheir pets for care.

In Russia, ifaw’s mobile clinic conducted 920spay/neuter surgeries during the last fiscal year.

In Canada, ifaw held seven claw clinics in theremote communities of the James Bay Cree Nationin June. More than 240 dogs were spayed orneutered and vaccinated, signaling increased aware-ness and concern in the region.

SAVING LIVES WITH SCIENCE AND COMPASSION

Veterinarian Dr. Ian Robinson is IFAW’sEmergency Relief (ER) Program Manager, oversee-ing IFAW’s ER efforts for oiled wildlife, strandedmarine mammals, disaster response and sanctu-ary support.

Before coming to IFAW, he ran a rural veteri-nary practice in England for 10 years and workedfor the RSPCA for 12 years, where he developedthe UK’s leading wildlife rehabilitation hospital.He has experience treating more than 200species of wildlife.

IFAW’s global reputation as a leader in oiledwildlife rehabilitation drew Dr. Robinson to IFAW.He first participated in IFAW’s ER response at theErika oil spill off of France’s Brittany coast in2000 and saw how effective the organizationwas in leveraging the efforts of local organiza-tions to gain positive results for animals.

Since joining IFAW’s staff, he has supervisedthe move of rescued tigers from New Jersey toTexas in 2003, treated companion animals andlivestock in Sri Lanka following the tsunami, andprovided veterinary care for dogs relocated fromChina to the United States.

For Dr. Robinson, a crucial part of ER work isreturning animals to the wild. “We want to res-cue and rehabilitate animals,” he said. “The goalis to return them to their natural environment.”

He points to the IFAW-led rehabilitation of20,000 penguins following the Treasure oil spillin South Africa as an example of successful res-cue and release, and commented, “Saving thoseindividual animals saved an entire population.”

Combining animal welfare and sound conser-vation practices is part of what makes IFAWunique. With his scientific background and com-passion for each individual animal, Dr. Robinsonbrings a wealth of experience and a world ofheart to IFAW’s ER mission.

ifaw has begun to develop a stray animalaction plan on the Caribbean Island of Dominicaand is building veterinary capacity and training inAustralia and Samoa.

By providing veterinary care and education inneedy areas, ifaw demonstrates how healthy ani-mals contribute to the health of communities.

CARING FOR BEARS

At ifaw’s moon bear sanctuary in Pan Yu, China,bears who survived years of torture as their bile wasremoved for medicinal remedies are growing olderand need increasing care. ifaw has changed theirdiets to keep them healthy and planted more fruitsthat the bears like to eat. Veterinary care is intensi-fying to monitor for possible degenerative diseases.ifaw has also improved fencing to the sanctuarybuffer zone and started a herb garden with plantsthat could replace bear bile as our educational out-reach in the area grows.

In Russia, 11 bear cubs orphaned by the winterhunt were rehabilitated for release to the wild at theifaw-funded Pazhetnov sanctuary. ifaw is lobbyingRussian regional and national authorities for a legislative ban on the winter den hunt. In severaldistricts of the Tver region where the populationswere critical, hunting was banned this year.

SNACK FOODHEROES HELP SAVEANIMALS

Grupo Moliner, one of Spain’s topmarketing compa-nies, launched anational high-profilecause-related cam-paign supporting

IFAW in March 2005. The campaign wasdesigned to promote the snack food manufac-turing giant Panrico.

Aimed at teenagers, the campaign promot-ed IFAW through games and artwork on packages of Panrico’s Bollycao brand ofchocolate-filled snack bread rolls. The snack is the market leader in this field.

Grupo Moliner created a team of fictionalcartoon teen rescue heroes that save wildlifearound the globe. IFAW worked with theagency to develop educational content promot-ing IFAW’s key species including elephants,seals, bears and whales, and campaigns onhabitat loss and commercial trade. Informationabout IFAW’s efforts to protect animals worldwide, along with IFAW’s web site, wasfeatured on the snack food packaging, CDs,playing cards and certificates.

This highly successful initiative reached anaudience of more than 1 million teenagersacross Spain, helping to spread IFAW’s nameand mission. In addition, Panrico donatedUS$60,000 to IFAW in support of our animalwelfare work worldwide.

GLOBAL STRIDES IN ANIMAL WELFARE

IFAW STAFF IN 15 OFFICES WORLDWIDEFURTHER OUR PRIORITY CAMPAIGNGOALS AND ASSIST ANIMALS AND PEOPLE IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES.

VICTORIES

On February 18, 2005, a ban in the United

Kingdom on hunting foxes, deer, hares and minkwith dogs was finally achieved after 16 years of cam-paigning by ifaw and its coalition partners. We arevery proud of this hard-fought win — a true mile-stone in animal welfare.

In the Netherlands, ifaw has been working for anational ban on seal products. The Minister ofNature has promised to adjust existing legislation in2005, so that the import of seal products will berestricted by a permit system. This is an importantstep toward a total ban.

To protect marine mammals from harmful underwa-ter noise, ifaw’s European Union office in Brussels,in collaboration with Natural Resources DefenseCouncil, won the adoption of an EU ParliamentaryResolution calling for a moratorium on high-inten-sity naval sonar.

ifaw applauded the Canadian government on itspassage of Bill C-15 in May, which enacted stricterpenalties and large minimum fines against shipoperators who illegally and deliberately dump bilgeoil into Canadian waters. An ifaw-led coalitioncampaigned in favor of the new legislation, whichwill save thousands of seabirds.

EMERGENCY RELIEF

In the United States of America, ifaw’s EmergencyRelief (er) team rushed to aid animals displaced ororphaned by hurricanes Charley, Frances and Ivan.ifaw provided pet food, medical supplies and othercritically needed resources to local shelters.

In India, ifaw’s er team assisted in rescuing wildanimals from the worst floods in 50 years inKaziranga National Park. Two badly injured rhinocalves were given intensive care at the Center forWildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation, whichifaw runs in partnership with the Wildlife Trust ofIndia and the Assam Forest Department.

In Mexico, ifaw’s er team rescued and rehabilitated164 animals affected by an oil spill in Coatzacoalcos,Veracruz, in December 2004. PEMEX, the oil com-pany responsible for the spill, turned to ifaw to takecare of the wildlife rehabilitation due to our experi-ence in that field and agreed to pay all ifaw costs.

BETTER LIVES FOR PETS

In May, ifaw led the rescue and transport of 30 dogsfrom China to new homes in the United States of

America. The North Shore Animal League Americain New York housed the dogs until they were adopt-ed. ifaw is also working on long-term solutions withgovernment officials in China to update dog owner-ship laws.

In France, ifaw helped four local shelters in distresswith the purchase of dog kennels and 2 tons of catfood. ifaw also supported spay/neuter surgeries andidentification tattoos.

SAVING WHALES

As part of our efforts to save the last 100 WesternPacific gray whales in Russia, ifaw and other envi-ronmental groups pressured the Sakhalin EnergyInvestment Company to announce its intention toreroute an oil pipeline planned for the whales’ feeding ground a further 20 kilometers south.

In South Africa, ifaw’s “Walking with Whales”school project reached nearly 1,000 children in 10schools in Hermanus in the Western Cape lastAugust. The educational program featured interac-tive workshops to teach youngsters to care for thecoastal environment.

An ifaw-sponsored Whale Watching Conference in Japan in November 2004 brought together Japanesewhale- and dolphin-watch operators and experts fromIceland, Europe, North and South America, and Asiato showcase a truly sustainable — and growing —industry in this longstanding whaling nation.

Staff in ifaw’s Asia Pacific office and the NewZealand Conservation Minister Chris Carterlaunched the new ifaw report, The Growth of the NewZealand Whale Watching Industry, showing the whale-and dolphin-watching industry grew by some 11%per year and contributed close to NZD$120 millionto the New Zealand economy in 2004.

Campaigners from ifaw’s Germany and UK officesjoined the Song of the Whale team in Iceland to raiseawareness of threats to whales.

PROTECTING ELEPHANTS

In East Africa, ifaw partnered with the InstitutCongolais pour la Conservation de la Nature toreduce poaching in Garamba National Park in theDemocratic Republic of Congo. In recent years, thepark has faced significant challenges, includingpoaching from armed Sudanese syndicates. The ele-phant population in the park has been decimatedfrom 11,000 in 1995 to 1,453 in 2003.

ifaw’s Germany and UK offices rolled out a “ThinkTwice” advertising campaign at airports to promotewildlife-friendly tourism and to ask travelers to pledgenot to buy souvenirs made from endangered species.

COMPASSION PROVIDES HOPE — AND SECURITY— FOR THE FUTURE

Susan Bleiberg from Wilmington, Delaware, iskeenly interested in animal welfare, mountainclimbing and 17th century Dutch art. She alsokeeps an ongoing list of examples of compassionshe reads or hears about in her daily life. “In aworld that can seem uncaring and cold, my listoffers me some balance and perspective. Andhope. So, of course, the instant I saw Brian Davies

with the seal pup, I added them to my list and have been an IFAW fan eversince,” she said.

“To me, being a fan implies taking action, so when I read of IFAW’sCharitable Gift Annuity (CGA), I was immediately intrigued. Because, althoughIFAW was in my will, there was no assurance that there would be enoughmoney left when the time came. I’ve sadly observed nursing home residents’life savings eaten up until they were eligible for Medicaid, leaving their willsuseless. I know my $10,000 CGA is secure with IFAW and, as an added bonus, I get a quarterly dividend for the rest of my life, which is icing on the cake,”Ms. Bleiberg explained.

“I feel honored to be associated with IFAW and the noble work it does.What better way to celebrate their efforts than with my CGA?” PHOTO © J. LOY

IFAW Combined Financial Statements (Unaudited)For the Years Ended June 30, 2005 and 2004In Thousands of US Dollars

IFAW’s complete audited financial statements may be obtained by writing to:IFAW, Membership Correspondence, 411 Main Street, Yarmouth Port, MA 02675,or to the regional office listed on the back cover.

THIS YEAR IFAW DONORS CONTINUEDTO SUPPORT IFAW’S MISSION TO CARRYON WITH CRITICAL ANIMAL WELFAREWORK AROUND THE WORLD. IFAW ISPARTICULARLY GRATEFUL FOR THISDEDICATION AND TRUST BECAUSE WEKNOW THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPET-ING NEEDS IN THE WORLD THATDESERVE SUPPORT.

During the past fiscal year ifaw invested US$91million, in donor contributions and other income,in programs that directly impact animals and theirhabitats around the world. ifaw managementunderstands the donor’s trust and makes custodi-anship of these funds a critical priority. Moreover,ifaw management is committed to innovationand efficiency to ensure availability of the maxi-mum amount of resources possible to fund direct program support for the animals.

ifaw’s family of affiliated charitable and nonprofit companies have centralized financialmanagement and support services to streamlineadministration while maintaining the higheststandards of accounting and accountability. Toachieve this goal, management has intentionallyincreased the number of partners in legal andaccounting fields in each of its venues. Thisgrowth results in new opportunities to create evenmore robust financial management and to identifyjurisdiction-specific ways to improve financialoperations and save money. Management has alsoestablished a global treasury function charged withsimplifying ifaw’s banking relationships to mini-mize bank charges and foreign exchange costs. Inthese ways and through investment management,ifaw maximizes financial resources on behalf ofdonors and the animals they support.

ifaw companies are audited annually by theaccounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers. Theaudit covers both financial statements and certaininternal controls. This year, as in the past, ifawhas received crisp and deficiency-free audit reports.This collaboration also results in sound recommen-dations for continuous improvements in businesspractices. ifaw is currently building a new sup-porter database that will link with the financialsystem to permit greater rigor in revenue recogni-tion in the coming years.

Through continued strategic planning andoperational efficiencies, ifaw can assure its con-tributors that their donations make a significantdifference for animals and result in new protec-tions for the habitats we all share.

STAR POWER FOR THE PLANET

Actor and environmen-talist Goran Visnjic,Dr. Luka Kovac onNBC’s “ER” series,first became involvedwith IFAW because ofits founding campaignof working for an endto the Canadian sealhunt, the world’slargest commercialhunt of marine

mammals. He was shocked that this inhumanehunt was still occurring and was motivated tojoin IFAW. “Once you witness the atrocity of theseal hunt,” Mr. Visnjic said, “it’s really hard tosit on the sidelines and say ‘Who cares.’”

“I decided to team up with IFAW because of its impressive history of protecting animalsand their habitats all over the globe,” he said.“IFAW’s pragmatic approach of advancing solutions that benefit both animals and people is consistent with my own values and beliefs.My work with IFAW is to raise awareness on the issues threatening species and habitat and promote the protection of all life and thepreservation of the planet. This isn’t about onespecies, but at the same time it is, because allthings are connected. If we keep taking fromnature without giving anything back, eventuallythe planet will not be able to sustain us. If anyone is responsible for the planet, it’s us.”

Mr. Visnjic has been a dedicated supporterof IFAW for several years and joined the IFAWBoard of Directors as an Honorary Member inJune. IFAW is grateful for Goran Visnjic’s stead-fast commitment and involvement. PHOTO © J. MINTON

ADVANCING THE HUMAN-ANIMAL BOND

Victoria Stack is amember of IFAW’sBoard of Directorsand Chair of theWashington, DC MetroRegional Council.She’s also been a gen-erous donor since themid-1970s. Ms. Stackis enthusiastic abouther involvement

because she believes that IFAW is poised to be amajor influence in bringing animal welfare into themainstream of global community concern.

“Under Fred O’Regan, IFAW has increased itsoutreach. This is so important in this era of global-ization,” she said. Ms. Stack feels that IFAW’sresponse to recent disasters has raised public con-cerns about companion animals. “Through theweb site and growing media attention to IFAW’sactions during the tsunami and other disasters,IFAW has shown the world how important thehuman-animal bond is,” she said.

Ms. Stack believes we have a greaterimpact working together through organizationslike IFAW than alone in isolation on issues.Through her longtime support and participationon IFAW’s board, she hopes to increase theorganization’s success even more. IFAW is grate-ful to Victoria Stack for her vision and personalcommitment to creating a more compassionateworld. PHOTO © IFAW / C. ROSSI

A DEARLY LOVED DOG HELPS OTHER PETS

Delma and Don Taylor,longtime IFAW support-ers, have created anIFAW Pet Fund in honorof their deceased OldEnglish Sheepdog,Bentley Manchester.Bentley was dearlyloved for his playfulspirit. His fund willhelp other wonderful

pets worldwide. “We hope to establish additionalpet funds to honor other pets we’ve loved,” Mrs.Taylor said.

Mrs. Taylor started contributing to IFAW in1973 in response to a newspaper article aboutBrian Davies’ save-the-seal campaign. Her supporthas grown over the years as IFAW’s work to helpanimals and people has become more focused,and she is now a member of IFAW’s Washington,DC Metro Regional Council. The Taylors feel it’svery important to put animal welfare into the con-text of human welfare. “If people are too poor totake care of their own needs, how will they beable to vaccinate their pets?” Mrs. Taylor asks.This resonates with IFAW’s mission to advance thewell-being of animals and people.

Don Taylor feels connected to IFAW’s missionand the wide variety of issues the organizationworks on, especially since seeing the new Song ofthe Whale. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor were very impressedwith the scientific research IFAW is doing and wouldlike more people to see IFAW’s work firsthand. Theyfeel once people have personal contact with IFAW’sprograms and personnel, they will want to becomemore involved and help leave the world a betterplace for future generations. PHOTO © D. TAYLOR

ANIMALS DEPEND ON US, JUST AS WE DEPEND ON YOU

THERE ARE MANY WAYS YOU CAN LEAVEA LASTING AND MEANINGFUL LEGACY TOANIMALS...

FUTURE FOR ANIMALS SOCIETY

Throughout ifaw’s history, contributors have pro-vided a legacy of hope to animals and their habitatsby giving through their estates.

By pledging support to ifaw in your will,investing in a charitable gift annuity or by designat-ing ifaw as the recipient of another planned gift,esteemed members of the Future for Animals Societyprotect animals from cruelty, exploitation and habi-tat loss far into the future by contributing to ifaw’sstrength and stability.

Bequests

Including ifaw as a beneficiary in your will is aneasy and effective way to protect animals long intothe future. You can make your bequest for a specificsum, percentage or the residue of your estate. Ofcourse, you should consult an attorney in drawing upa will, but the following language may be helpful:

“I give, devise, and bequeath to theInternational Fund for Animal Welfare, a nonprofitorganization, located at 411 Main Street, YarmouthPort, Massachusetts, the sum of US$_____ (or adesignated percentage or the residue of my estate) tobe used by ifaw to further its goal to assist and pro-tect animals around the world.”

ifaw gratefully thanks supporters who havealready advised us of their intentions to protect animals through naming ifaw in their wills and hon-ors them with membership in the esteemed Future forAnimals Society. Members receive an annual newsletterand other special insider updates and alerts.

Charitable Gift Annuities

Investing in a charitable gift annuity at ifaw can bean ideal way to make a gift. A gift annuity paysguaranteed fixed income for life and gives you animmediate tax deduction — and a portion of theyearly income from the annuity is even tax-free. Youcan enjoy the benefits of a gift annuity if you are age60 and over, with a minimum gift of US$10,000.You may receive these annuity payments yourself,jointly or designate another person to receive them.And best of all, your gift will ultimately go to fur-ther the important work of ifaw by saving animalsfrom both cruelty and extinction.

TRUST PLANS

If you are looking for ways to protect your familyand your money, a trust plan may provide theanswer. Trusts are remarkably versatile and offermany opportunities to save taxes and broaden yourestate plan.

Though there are various kinds of trusts, theyshare similar features. A trustee chosen by you man-ages the trust assets (principal). The trust can thenbe set up to pay an income to your beneficiaries.When the trust ends, the remaining principal willbe distributed to other beneficiaries chosen by you.You can establish a trust by an agreement duringyour lifetime (living trust) or through your will (atestamentary trust).

GIFTS OF REAL ESTATE

A gift of a house, farm, vacation home, office build-ing, undeveloped land or other marketable realproperty is a wonderful way to help animals andprovide you with substantial tax benefits. You mayselect a way to give that best suits your needs. Forexample, you may choose to receive a lifetimeincome or retain lifetime use of your property beforedonating it to ifaw for sale.

GIFTS OF LIFE INSURANCE

If you own life insurance that is no longer needed toprotect your family members or business, considertransferring ownership of the policy to ifaw andnaming ifaw as a beneficiary. Whether or not allpremiums are paid, you may be entitled to anincome tax deduction (and possible estate tax deduc-tion) for such a gift.

You can also name ifaw as the primary or contingent beneficiary of a new or existing policywithout transferring ownership of the policy.

GIFTS OF RETIREMENT PLAN ASSETS

Many individuals have accumulated funds in tax-deferred retirement accounts, which include profit-sharing plans, IRAs, 401(k)s and 403(b)s. Fundswithdrawn from these accounts are usually taxed atboth high income and estate tax rates. It is possiblethat at death, less than US$30 of US$100 in aretirement account will reach non-spouse beneficiar-ies. However, by donating retirement plan assets,donors avoid these taxes.

GIFTS OF APPRECIATED SECURITIES

Gifts of stocks to ifaw are an important way to helpeliminate cruelty to animals and protect habitataround the world. The best way to make a stock giftis to have your broker transfer your stocks directly toifaw. That way, you can realize the very best tax-savings: a charitable deduction for the full presentfair market value, and no tax on the appreciation(capital gains).

If you would like to make a gift of stock, pleasenotify ifaw’s Resource Development Office toll-freeat 1-888-251-0253. Then ask your broker to transferyour stock into the ifaw Brokerage Account: MerrillLynch, Account 699-04122, DTC #5198, 973 Route132, Hyannis, MA 02601.

MATCHING GIFTS

Many employers match donations made by theiremployees. When you contribute to ifaw, pleasecheck with your company’s Human Resourcesdepartment to see if they will match your gift. AMatching Gift program may double or even tripleyour donation, helping animals in need twice asmuch.

SPECIAL WAYS TO MAKE A GIFT

All of ifaw’s achievements have been made possiblethrough the generosity of supporters like you whoshare our vision of a world where people and animalslive in harmony, where no animal suffers from cruel-ty, exploitation or unethical trade. Whether youchoose to give something back for the love and affec-tion of a family pet or want to preserve the dignityand rightful place of the world’s wildlife, we aregrateful for your commitment to animals.

NAMED PET FUND GIFTS

You can memorialize or honor a beloved pet throughan IFAW Pet Fund. With a minimum gift ofUS$5,000, ifaw will invest your donation to buildan endowment for the future to support Community-Linked Animal Welfare (claw). The interest incomegenerated will be used to help rescue, nurture andprotect dogs and cats in impoverished communitiesaround the world. It’s a loving way to create a last-ing tribute to a loyal companion and receive the taxbenefits of making a charitable gift.

TRIBUTE AND MEMORIAL GIFTS

Memorial and Tribute gifts are a wonderful way tohonor special people and events. Whether your giftis made in memory of a loved one or in honor of a special occasion such as a wedding, birthday orholiday, your gift celebrates and shares a love foranimals. Newlyweds may choose to direct gifts toifaw instead of accepting wedding presents, man-agers may make a holiday gift to employees via separate contributions to ifaw and even marathonrunners can collect pledges to ifaw before a race.Use your creativity along with your desire to protectanimals and preserve habitat!

A LEGACY OF LOVE FOR ANIMALS

Mrs. Cheri Cherrington, from Bournemouth in the UK, has been a supporter of IFAW for as long as she can remember. In common with many of our supporters, it was IFAW’scampaign to stop the Canadian seal hunt that caught Mrs. Cherrington’s attention andencouraged her to join IFAW. The Cherringtonsare a family of animal lovers and over theyears have had a succession of different pets among which cats have always figuredvery largely.

Now that she is retired, Mrs. Cherrington,a former company director, is able to devotemore time to her various interests — gardening,politics and, of course, her cats.

In addition to her interest in the campaignto stop the seal hunt, Mrs. Cherrington is verysupportive of IFAW’s work protecting animals’habitat in places such as Tsavo National Park,and she is particularly interested in ourefforts to educate governments and individu-als about the importance of animal welfareissues. She wants to continue her supportlong into the future and in order to do so hasincluded a gift to IFAW in her will. In herwords, “IFAW is a very worthy cause and Iwould like to think that my legacy will help tocontinue the very valuable work you do.”
