International Animal Rescue

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

The IAR performs hands-on rescue when necessary in order to reduce the suffering of animals, with the aim of rehabilitation and return to the wild if possible. Animals that cannot be released are provided 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 United States.
