Humane Society International's Work on the Seal Hunt
Humane Society International (HSI) has long been at the forefront of advocating against the commercial seal hunt, one of the largest and most controversial slaughters of marine mammals in the world. HSI works tirelessly to bring an end to this practice, focusing on policy change, raising public awareness, and promoting sustainable livelihoods for communities involved in the hunt.
Key Focus Areas:
Campaigning for Policy Reform
HSI pushes for legislative bans on the trade of seal products globally. Their efforts have contributed to the European Union, the United States, and other countries banning imports of seal products, reducing market demand and financial incentives for the hunt.Documenting and Exposing the Hunt
The organization conducts on-the-ground documentation of the hunt to expose the inhumane methods often used, including clubbing and shooting. This visual evidence is critical in driving international condemnation and influencing policy makers to take action.Public Awareness and Advocacy
Through campaigns, educational materials, and media outreach, HSI raises global awareness about the cruelty of the commercial seal hunt and its impact on seal populations. Their campaigns highlight the ethical, ecological, and economic reasons to end the hunt.Promoting Economic Alternatives
HSI works with communities dependent on the hunt to promote sustainable and humane economic alternatives, such as ecotourism or seafood certification programs, ensuring that livelihoods are not compromised while moving away from sealing.
Achievements and Impact:
HSI’s relentless efforts have significantly reduced the number of seals killed annually. They have also shifted public opinion worldwide, creating a powerful movement that continues to pressure governments to end the hunt altogether.
Why It Matters:
Seals are iconic marine animals that play a crucial role in their ecosystems. HSI's work ensures their survival, advocates for compassion in human-wildlife interactions, and exemplifies how humanity can transition away from practices rooted in cruelty.
Through their work, HSI inspires hope for a future where the commercial seal hunt becomes a thing of the past.

What Gave Birth to WildlifeoFundraiser?
WildlifeoPedia, along with many other individuals and organizations, believes that our planet is losing its natural balance and biodiversity. Human activities have inflicted the most devastating impact on Earth’s biodiversity since the mass extinction of the dinosaurs (66 mya). As previously mentioned, WildlifeoPedia's core passion lies in studying and preserving wild animals—from the majestic African lion in its natural habitat to the playful cat in its own garden. I deeply appreciate anyone reading this who shares the same passions and considers supporting a mission that has inspired me since I was nine years old.
What Is This Problem All About?
Some may dismiss these issues as propaganda; I wish that were the case, but unfortunately, this situation is very real. Earth has not faced a more rapid extinction event since the mass extinction of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. Thousands of species have already gone extinct due to human activity. Both groups of scientists and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) estimate that countless species become extinct every year, many before they are even scientifically described or discovered...

The Quagga (Equus Quagga Quagga) · August 12th, 1883 - Amsterdam Zoo, The Netherlands
Passenger Pigeon (Ectopistes Migratorius) · September 1st, 1914 - Cincinnati Zoo, Ohio
The Thylacine (Thylacinus Cynocephalus) · September 7th, 1936 - Hobart Zoo, Tasmania
Barbary Lion (Panthera Leo Leo) · 1942 - Morocco
Steller's Sea Cow (Hydrodamalis Gigas) · 1768 - Bering Island, Russia
WildlifeoPedia's Core Mission
At WildlifeoPedia™, my mission is to create a harmonious world where humans and wildlife coexist peacefully. WildlifeoPedia is dedicated to preserving wildlife on our planet, and your support truly makes a difference. Whether you subscribe, view, like, comment, or become a member, your participation is incredibly valuable in the ongoing fight to protect wildlife and its habitats. Each action you take amplifies our voice and brings WildlifeoPedia one step closer to my goals.
My passion for wildlife has always been at the core of my being; I can’t imagine a life without it. WildlifeoPedia™ has significantly surpassed all expectations. Initially, I maybe hoped to have reached 25 subscribers after six months, yet I was amazed to discover that I had over 500 subscribers within that time frame! This growth highlights how educating people can create a meaningful impact, regardless of whether they subscribe or not.
This passion and support inspired the launch of WildlifeoPedia™ on January 29th of 2024, which eventually evolved into a wildlife-focused YouTube channel. Alongside raising awareness about conservation challenges, I cherish the opportunity to share the adventures I’ve experienced so far. From showcasing Tiger’s luxurious scratching posts to exploring the breathtaking Irish landscapes and capturing the fascinating behaviors of a hyena clan in Africa, every moment is a story waiting to be told.
In addition to our conservation efforts, WildlifeoPedia™ is committed to fostering a safe and inclusive community. I aim to eliminate all forms of discrimination, threats, and violence, which is why WildlifeoPedia has introduced Strict Community Guidelines for my channel. Achieving my goals necessitates mutual respect and understanding among all members of the WildlifeoPedia Family.
Ultimately, my dream is to create a world where people, other people and animals can coexist without being excessively disturbed by one another. Together, we can make this vision a reality, inspiring future generations to appreciate and protect the incredible diversity of life that shares my planet.

You could of course also support Wildlife Conservation by educating others or being aware of your footprint. Here are some additional steps you could take to minimize your carbon footprint on our planet:
Quit buying fast fashion items, instead, you could try taking a look at the items you can still wear or use in your garderobe
Be aware of what food you eat and how it's produced by the manufacturer or ideally, start producing your own
Adapt your garden to be eco-friendly, as an example: you could plant extra (native) pollinator-friendly plants & flowers to stimulate the growth of biodiversity in your garden and create habitats for beneficial insects and small animals by adding birdhouses or insect hotels
Try using solar energy to power (parts of) your house or car
Minimize soil disturbance by practicing no-till gardening. This preserves soil structure and encourages healthy microorganisms
Take a look at what you can give a second life by recycling it, like paper you haven't used
Separate your rubbish: Consider separating your bins by having (bin) bags for recyclables, organic waste, and general waste
Be aware of how your products are produced, like what materials have been used to produce it or how the manufacturer handles any potential waste
Choose for brands that prioritize sustainability
Conserve energy: Turn off any lights or electronics you aren't currently using
Reduce your water usage
Participate in local clean-up events where they remove litter from parks, beaches or other public spaces
Walk, use a bike or use public transportation instead of a car to reduce your carbon footprint
Support environmental organizations, like WWF, IFAW or World Animal Protection
