Tails of Hope India – Voices for the Voiceless: Animal Advocacy for Every Paw | Season 2 | Episode 3 (Part 1) Guest: Apoorva – Founder, Animal Law & Policy Network (ALPN).
What if India’s legal system could truly speak forthe voiceless? In this gripping episode of Tails of Hope, we meet Apoorva, trailblazing founder of the Animal Law & Policy Network (ALPN), whose life’s work is rewriting the future for animals through law, research, and relentless advocacy.
Apoorva’s journey began in mainstream law and policy: from reporting on the Supreme Court for Mint, to shaping judicial reforms at Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy. But a deeper calling led her to merge her love for animals with her legal acumen. She’s since collaborated with Harvard Law School on zoonotic-disease research, earned a scholarship at Antwerp’s Animal Law Summer School, and crafted India’s first home-grown hub dedicated to animal law.
In this conversation, she reveals:
Listening to Apoorva is like opening a window into what’s possible when empathy meets rigorous intellect. Her vision empowers lawyers, citizens, and policymakers to champion animals not as afterthoughts but as beings with intrinsic worth. Whether you’re an animal-lover, law student, activist, or simply curious about creating systemic change, this episode will ignite your sense of responsibility—and hope.
