This session explores the often-overlooked connections between the welfare of farmed animals and wildlife, highlighting how human actions impact both domains. We will be discussing ethical considerations, conservation challenges, and practical strategies for improving living conditions, reducing harm, and fostering coexistence. Participants gain insights into how responsible practices on farms, in communities, and in conservation efforts can benefit both domestic and wild species, encouraging a holistic approach to animal welfare and environmental stewardship.
