Wild macaques, songbirds, and even octopuses are used in medical research despite major species differences limiting relevance to human health.
On #WorldWildlifeDay, we’re calling for a shift to human-based methods that protect wild species and advance better science.

A human lung-on-a-chip model helped scientists study influenza infection and antiviral responses in human lung tissue. This human-relevant tool may improve how respiratory diseases and treatments are tested before human trials without using animals.

Researchers developed a human-based model of the alveolus—where air passes from the lungs into the blood while breathing—that can improve our understanding of highly infectious respiratory diseases like tuberculosis.

We applaud the U.S. Senate’s passage of the FDA Modernization Act 3.0, clearing the way for nonanimal drug testing. For 40 years, the Physicians Committee has worked to advance human-relevant science, and today, that progress continues.

New research shows nonanimal methods better predict how chemicals affect the human gut microbiome. In vitro, computational, and AI tools outperformed animal experiments when screening more than 1,000 chemicals. A win for human-relevant science.

More researchers are moving away from animal experiments thanks to growing interest in human-focused science and new NIH and FDA initiatives.
The Physicians Committee’s ERA21 program now helps scientists at every career stage adopt ethical, nonanimal approaches.

🚨 Environment ministers: follow the call of more than 200 organisations across Europe and be the hero that people and nature need.
Protect wolves, even when the EU didn’t.
Stand up for:
🐺A fragile population
💰Decades of science-based conservation and co-existence work
🌍A resilient nature in Europe
Animal experimentation is changing, but millions of animals are still used in U.S. labs each year.
Dr. Jon McCord explains the current landscape and why human-relevant science is essential.

The CDC is ending all monkey experiments. This is a historic move toward safer and more effective human-relevant science.
We are calling on the NIH and FDA to follow suit, and on the CDC to support sanctuary placement for the macaques currently at CDC facilities.

🚫 Mentrestant, volen fer passar per “compensació” la instal·lació d’hivernacles dins la ZEPA (!), un nou pla de gestió que no s’ha fet públic i una ampliació que multiplicaria els impactes ambientals.

📌 Gràcies a la denúncia de DEPANA, la CE va obrir un procediment d’infracció el 2021 contra l’estat espanyol. Ara diuen que el tancaran “en pocs mesos".
🗣 Lluís Toldrà (@fonsdefensaamb.bsky.social) avisa: “No van ben encaminats” i alerta que el cas pot acabar al Tribunal de Justícia de la UE ⚖️
🚨 DEPANA va portar el cas a Europa… i l’expedient continua obert! ✊🏼🌍
✈️ La Generalitat i AENA volen ampliar l’aeroport del Prat, però encara no han complert les compensacions de l’ampliació del 2002, que van destruir part del Delta del Llobregat 😠
