Join Animal Advocacy and Protection (AAP) at the European Parliament in Brussels for an event hosted by Niels Fuglsang MEP, bringing together EU policymakers, experts, and civil society to launch the #WildAnimalsNotPets campaign.

Speakers include:

  • Niels Fuglsang – MEP

  • Nicholas Clark – Programme Leader for Wildlife – Eurogroup for Animals.
