International Animal Rescue

International Animal Rescue (IAR) is a British wildlife protection and conservation non-profit organisation. IAR aims to protect and mitigate threats to wildlife and habitats.

IAR performs hands-on rescue when necessary to reduce the suffering of animals, aiming to rehabilitate and return them to the wild if possible. Animals that cannot be released are provided with permanent sanctuary.

Its work includes freeing and caring for captive bears in India and Armenia, rescuing and rehabilitating orangutans and other primates in Indonesia, and treating injured and orphaned wildlife in Costa Rica. IAR strives to educate the public in the humane treatment of all animals and the preservation of the natural environment. International Animal Rescue has offices in the United Kingdom and the United States.
