ADI campaigns and educates across the globe on animal protection issues such as use of animals in entertainment, in laboratories, factory farms. Lead campaign at present is use of animals in entertainment and in laboratories.

NAVS and LDF are UK based.

The founders of ADI (directors of NAVS) have worked undercover and filmed and photographed inside laboratories, animal dealers, factory farms, slaughterhouses, circuses and other establishments in the UK and abroad.

This is now a key tool that has gained ADI a worldwide reputation for providing first class video and photographic evidence exposing the behind-the-scenes suffering in industry and supporting this evidence with analysis of scientific papers, economic and legal research.

Animal rescues also play a role in our work. Often, our undercover investigations result in a public education campaign that brings about changes in the law, and ADI has rescued and relocated animals from circuses, laboratories and other establishments.
