Guardians is the full-color magazine of In Defense of Animals. In each issue, you'll find IDA's campaign updates, inspirational and motivational stories about people who are making a difference for animals, informative articles about the plight of animals, and ways that you can help animals in your own community or far away. You'll see how your donations are creating dramatic animal rescue stories at IDA's Project Hope sanctuary in Mississippi, and how we're helping animals in the villages and streets of India, the jungles and forests of Cameroon, Africa, and the laboratories of the United States.

Our mission is to end animal exploitation, cruelty and abuse by protecting and advocating for the rights, welfare and habitats of animals; to raise their status beyond mere property, objects, commodities and things.
