Significant events

• “IFAW has achieved historic milestones in combating wildlife trafficking harnessing technology to protect species. In Europe, IFAW became the first wildlife conservation organisation formally designated as a Trusted Flagger under the EU Digital Services Act, enhancing our ability to flag illegal content online and disrupt trafficking networks.”
• “Our marine conservation efforts also made significant strides this year. The Blue Speeds initiative rallied 258,000 citizens across the EU to support modest reductions in vessel speeds, a simple step lowering ship-strike risk, reducing underwater noise, and cutting overall emissions.”
• “In October 2024, IFAW hosted the 24th annual Animal Action Awards at BAFTA in London, bringing together more than 200 attendees to celebrate remarkable contributions to conservation, rescue, and animal welfare from around the world.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
