1/ Thrilled to share the 2024 annual reports for the NYU Center for Environmental and Animal Protection (CEAP) and the NYU Center for Mind, Ethics, and Policy (CMEP)!
2024 was a pivotal year for both centers, as we expanded our teams and released a number of important projects.

"Individual rescue is not enough. By building an animal-friendly infrastructure, we can embed compassion for animals into the basic structures of our shared society."

Just read @jeffrsebo's “The Moral Circle" which proposes—mainly by way of mobilizing a utilitarian argument—for extending moral consideration to non-humans, including invertebrates, insects, and #AI. It’s well-written, accessible and mind expanding. Highly recommended @wwnorton
Interested in a master's degree in Animal Studies? Join us virtually next Wednesday, January 15th at 5:30PM EST for our Spring 2025 open house where we will be covering all you need to know to about our program!

Since its publication in 2022, Saving Animals, Saving Ourselves has been endorsed by a variety of researchers and policymakers, including leaders like @CoryBooker and @JaneGoodallInst. 8/10

Thrilled to share that my book Saving Animals, Saving Ourselves is now open access!
Animals matter for pandemics, climate change, and other catastrophes, and these catastrophes matter for animals. This book examines the science, ethics, and politics of these relationships. 1/10

Local policies designed to address climate change and improve human health can meaningfully include wild animal welfare as well.

Thanks to @faunalytics for covering our report on how cities can consider wild animal welfare in their infrastructure policies!
This report is step one in a broader project on wild animal welfare in urban environments. Stay tuned for more this year :)
