The Defend Them All Foundation

Our Mission The Defend Them All Foundation (DTA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working to secure a better future for all animals and their habitats by preserving the symbiotic relationship between species and the natural environment through community advocacy, education, and legal guidance. DTA approaches issues at the intersection of animal and environmental law. By employing a cross disciplinary approach, we create long-term solutions and build a better future for the causes we support. What We Do Defend Them All was established to fill a gap in the ever growing field of animal and environmental law and policy. We strive to take on issues that are often overlooked or under served by working at a community based level with advocates in particular localities around the world. DTA works in target localities to advise and support those committed to making a difference, frequently serving as an intermediary between policymakers and local advocates. By actively collaborating with our clients and community members, we are able to facilitate a more productive conversation between stakeholders, resulting in practical, long-term solutions to controversial issues. DTA’s clients include advocates that aim to improve the lives of animals in their community in some way. Once a project is identified, DTA works with the client to create a strategic plan to address the issues presented. Action items may include proposing new legislation or enforcement policies, public awareness campaigns, or litigation.
