It's a great time to join the NhRP.

Dear John,

We're thrilled you've chosen to become part of an international nonhuman rights movement that aims to fundamentally change how our legal systems view and treat nonhuman animals.

Years in the making, our long-term litigation campaign seeks recognition of the legal personhood and fundamental right to bodily liberty of great apes, elephants, dolphins, and whales. Learn more about our approach by watching my TED Talk, and learn more about our first clients and court cases by visiting our litigation page.

And we're just getting started. In the works are new lawsuits, new public policy initiatives, new collaborations, new international legal working groups, new ways to get involved, and much more—all of which we're able to do because of the support of people like you.

Welcome to the NhRP community!
