Frequently Asked Questions

Description text gDTA advises and supports advocates in the fields of animal law and environmental law and frequently serves as an intermediary between policymakers and local advocates. This unique approach often facilitates a more productive conversation between stakeholders resulting in practical, long term solutions to controversial issues. We recognize that issues impacting animals and the environment are extremely complex.  Without proper attention to community education, laws and regulations, and enforcement positive change is not sustainable. We have seen success where these three critical components are working together to create a cycle of progress.

DTA is committed to educating the next generation of advocates and recognizes that getting started in the field of animal and environmental policy can be challenging. By taking on students at various levels of their education we hope to provide them with the necessary tools to advance change. Our interns and externs gain real time advocacy experience through campaigns and projects tailored to their own interests and talents. oes here
