What We Do

Faunalytics’ mission is to empower animal advocates with research, insights, and strategies that maximize their effectiveness to end animal suffering.

Animals need you, and you need data. We conduct essential research, maintain an online research library, and directly support advocates and organizations in their work to save lives. The range of data we offer helps our movement understand how people think about and respond to advocacy, providing advocates with the best strategies to inspire change for animals.

What You Need To Be Effective

Original Studies

Our Original Studies provide actionable and insightful data for the animal protection movement. Our research prioritization process helps us identify high-impact topics, and our commitment to transparency and rigorous methodology ensures that our studies are of the highest quality.

Faunalytics Library

The Faunalytics Library houses summaries of over 5,000 peer-reviewed research articles, public opinion surveys, and blog posts offering deep analysis on every animal issue you can think of. It’s the world’s biggest collection of research about animals, and it's presented with an emphasis on effectiveness, readability, and advocacy.

Visual Resources

Faunalytics' visual resources summarize essential information for advocates, students, teachers, and anyone interested in animal topics. Our Fundamentals, Factsheets, Videos, Study Supplements, and other infographics give you a quick overview of the most important bits of data on a given topic, encapsulated in an easy-to-share format.

Faunalytics’ Office Hours and Research Advice hub give you the opportunity to connect with us directly and get one-on-one help with research design, strategy, and general knowledge questions.
