Center for Environmental and Animal Protection

About us

Center for Environmental and Animal Protection (CEAP) conducts, supports, and disseminates research that contributes to the protection of both animals and the environment. The Center has three distinguishing features: 

1) its focus on highly credible, evidence-based research that will provide usable knowledge and policy recommendations to decision-makers and advocacy groups; 

2) its emphasis on the integration of environmental and animal protection issues; and 

3) its attention to fostering collaboration between scholars and private-sector change makers around the world. 

The Center carries out its mandate by initiating research projects, convening workshops, producing policy briefs, and providing seed money for large projects. 

CEAP’s research activities are synergistic with NYU’s innovative graduate program in Animal Studies, capitalizing on the reservoir of talented, highly motivated students and training them to do world-class research and advocacy. 

Center for Environmental and Animal Protection reaches beyond NYU to enlist those scholars best positioned to help fulfill its mission.
