Guernsey residents were treated to ‘Stories of Survival’ by International Animal Rescue’s (IAR) President, Alan Knight OBE, in a presentation about our worldwide animal rescue initiatives.
Alan spoke to 60 Guernsey residents at a special function at Les Cotils Hotel in Guernsey. Attendees had a unique chance to learn about Alan’s lifelong dedication to animal protection efforts from his own experiences.
Before the event, Alan appeared alongside Steph on BBC Radio Guernsey to discuss the organisation’s current projects and the fundamental role of animal welfare. He also explained the driving force behind his dedication to stopping animal cruelty and exploitation.

In the talk, Alan recounted powerful field experiences, including rescuing dancing bears in India and safeguarding endangered orangutans in Borneo. He also spoke about the need for worldwide collaboration in conservation work and shared how people can support IAR’s essential mission.
International Animal Rescue wants to thank all the attendees who applauded Alan on several occasions and showed enthusiasm and support for our mission. Les Cotils Hotel deserves recognition for hosting the event, and BBC Radio Guernsey and https://www.bailiwickexpress.com and the many associations across Guernsey for their help in spreading our message throughout the Guernsey community.
