Marine conservation charity The Animal Fund (TAF) will celebrate its 10th anniversary this December with a black-tie gala at the Yacht Club de Monaco, highlighting a decade of education, activism and international advocacy for ocean protection.
Founded in 2015, TAF has grown into an international non-profit registered in five countries, working to safeguard marine life and combat threats such as plastic pollution, overfishing and whaling. Over the past decade, the organisation says it has conducted more than 500 conferences, partnered with 70 schools and 19 universities, and led over 60 major beach and ocean clean-ups.
“We are deeply grateful to our supporters and proud of the impact achieved together,” said founder Berit Legrand. “From implementing whale and ocean protection guidelines to engaging directly with whaling nations, TAF has shown that collective action can drive change.”
Global reach from Monaco to the world
Headquartered in Monaco, TAF’s influence extends well beyond the Principality. The charity has organised over 280 public events and launched 60 awareness campaigns, addressing issues from harmful cosmetics to the dangers of single-use plastics. Its work with schools has placed education at the heart of its mission, aiming to inspire what it calls “the next generation of ocean guardians”.
A milestone celebration
The anniversary gala on 4th December at the Yacht Club de Monaco will feature a champagne reception, dinner, live performances and an auction, with all proceeds directed exclusively to TAF’s conservation programmes. Tickets are limited and early reservations are encouraged, with organisers stressing that every contribution will support frontline work rather than administration costs.
Guests can expect an evening that blends glamour with purpose, while reflecting on a decade of progress and setting a course for the next ten years of advocacy. “This milestone is not just about celebrating the past,” said Legrand. “It is about looking forward with renewed purpose and unity in our mission to protect the ocean.”
