Environmentalism
Animal Charity Evaluators, 2018
Abstract
In the context of all the social movements we’ve considered, modern American environmentalism shares two unusual characteristics with the animal advocacy movement: a need for allies to speak on behalf of those who lack political power of their own (ecosystems, farmed animals) and a strong focus on consumer change (recycling, veganism). These common features make environmentalism a particularly promising case study for understanding the most effective ways to help animals.
