Animal Protection New Mexico serves as a voice for wildlife—not only as a group of species who our citizens coexist with in both rural and urban settings, but also as individual animals deserving of humane treatment just like the dogs and cats New Mexicans share their homes with.
Certain keystone species—like beavers, prairie dogs, coyotes and cougars—are particularly important to New Mexico’s ecosystem and have been persecuted throughout history as our communities grow and develop into habitat areas. Some of our state’s most treasured native wild species have nearly been driven to extinction in the past. Additionally, non-native exotic wildlife, like those used in traveling circus acts, also suffer unspeakable cruelty in the name of so-called entertainment.
APNM has a long history of protecting the populations of these and other important wild animals, charging down a steady path toward humane coexistence.
Clearly, protecting keystone species and other magnificent animals requires the lengthiest view possible and constant persistence—and APNM is here for the long haul. See a summary of our victories »
