BROOKE is an international animal welfare organization dedicated to improving the lives of working horses, donkeys and mules. Operating in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East, they reach over two million working horses, donkeys and mules – more
than any other organisation. They employ around 900 staff worldwide, including vets, animal welfare experts and development specialists with the aim to equip local people with the knowledge and skills to give their horse, donkey or mule a better life, thereby
supporting livelihoods and community resilience.
BROOKE has specialised consultative status with FAO and a standing history of collaboration resulted in joint events and publications, such as "The role, impact and welfare
of working (traction and transport) animals".
