EA - Faunalytics' Plans & Priorities For 2024 by JLRiedi
Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Faunalytics' Plans & Priorities For 2024, published by JLRiedi on December 14, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum.Faunalytics' mission is to empower animal advocates to effectively end animal suffering. As such, what advocates think about our work is of the utmost importance. Feedback like the quote above is especially rewarding, and all the more motivating as we plan for another productive and informative year ahead on behalf of animals and advocates alike.In 2024, we have big plans to conduct more Original Research than ever before, expand our Library in exciting new ways, and build upon the research support services that we provide for the movement. We'll be assessing opportunities to increase our impact, and we'll be working hard to live up to our status as an Animal Charity Evaluators Recommended Charity. Read on to learn all about our upcoming plans, and how you can help us succeed in our mission.A New Original Research AgendaFaunalytics is thrilled to share that our 2024 Original Research plans will support many different advocacy types and tactics.
