About the Organisation
ALPN is India’s first intersectional think-tank working exclusively on animal law and policy in the country. ALPN was founded in October, 2023 with an incubation grant from India Animal Fund. As of March, 2024, ALPN is a not-for-profit company registered under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013.
ALPN’s mission is to advance the development of legal policy in the field of animal law through research and advocacy. We believe that the welfare of animals is deeply intertwined with human well-being and planetary health. Our research projects are aimed at exploring the interlinkages between animal welfare and other issues like labour rights, environment, climate change, public health, child rights, women’s rights and so on. Our goal is to demonstrate through objective and independent research how the well-being of humans, the environment, and animals is inextricably linked.
