  • Summary

    Drafted by international animal law scholars and attorneys, the Convention on Animal Protection for Public Health, Animal Well-Being, and the Environment (CAP) was designed to help secure the interests of not just animals but also the environment we share. Delving into the context and contours of the CAP as an umbrella convention, this chapter first discusses the need to provide for more robust animal protections as part of a genuine One Health model. Next, the chapter observes how states have failed to enshrine such protections into international law. Then, we explore whether the CAP can manifest meaningful change. Exploring how CAP’s provision for additional protocols will enable the treaty to grow more robust with time, the chapter discusses prospects for its ratification and explores how it would complement existing animal-related treaties and concludes by emphasizing how CAP, if ratified, would dramatically improve the landscape for animals, the environment, and humankind.
