Faunalytics Index – July 2021
This month's Faunalytics Index includes facts and figures about pandemic companion animal adoptions, global conservation targets, humane farming issues, and much more.
Each month, our Faunalytics Index provides a round-up of data, statistics, and facts gleaned from the most recent research we’ve covered in our library. Our aim is to give you a quick overview of some of the most eye-catching and informative bits of data that could help you be more effective in your advocacy for animals.
