About
History
IIAE started with a promise: "I will help."
Founded in 2015 by Marloes van de Goor, the International Institute for Animal Ethics (IIAE) is dedicated to enhancing the welfare of both human and non-human animals globally. Through our cutting-edge scientific platform, we offer assessments, expert consultations, support services, and a variety of educational and training programs to individuals, businesses, universities, and governments. Our unwavering mission is to achieve optimal health and welfare for individuals, groups, communities, and ecosystems alike.
How it started? At the age of 23, while trekking alone through a Middle Eastern desert, Marloes encountered three severely abused camels. Initially overwhelmed by a sense of helplessness, she resolved to take action. Although her assistance came too late for those three camels, she made them a promise: “I will help.” Ever since, her commitment has evolved into a global initiative, with IIAE now operating in 40 countries.
The International Institute for Animal Ethics remains self-sufficient and independent.
