MDPI Webinar | World Animal Day, 3 October 2025
In order to commemorate MDPI World Animal Day 2025, MDPI is launching a special webinar to encourage researchers to come together and raise awareness for the animal welfare movement and contribute to the global force that is working to make the world a better place for all animals.
This year’s theme—“Save Animals, Save the Planet!”—draws attention to the connection between animal welfare and environmental welfare. From biodiversity loss and habitat destruction to industrial farming and pollution, the ways we treat animals have a direct impact on the planet's health, and vice versa. The conservation of animal species can aid in the preservation of their environment, and we must wholeheartedly commit to the protection of both.
