Animal Defenders International was founded in 1990 as the animal welfare, conservation, and youth wing of the National Anti-Vivisection Society, and has now grown into a major international campaigning group in its own right, lobbying on issues such as animals in circuses; worldwide traffic in endangered species; vegetarian/vegan diet; factory farming; and pollution. ADI has emerged as an adult as well as youth group and is involved in international animal rescues as well as educational work on animal welfare, conservation and the environment.
