Bringing empathy for animals into education
Practical, inspiring tools for teachers and parents shaping a kinder generation
🐕 Why animal empathy belongs in every classroom and home
Without it, children may grow up knowing about animals — but not truly valuing them.
Most children learn facts about animals, but not how to respect and care for them.
In busy classrooms and homes, lessons on empathy for animals often get squeezed out by academic demands.
Without these lessons, students miss the chance to develop kindness, awareness, and a lifelong sense of responsibility toward animals.
When we teach children to care about animals, we give them more than knowledge — we give them a way of seeing the world.🐾

👋 Hi, I’m Gwen!
👩🏫 I’m a zoologist and a humane educator on a mission to help teachers and parents turn their students and children into more engaged learners and compassionate humans.
🎓 With a PhD in Animal Ecology and ten years of experience teaching biology in secondary schools, I’ve spent my life at the crossroads of science, education, and ethics. I loved guiding students through the wonders of life on Earth, but I was always struck by what the curriculum left out.
⚖️ Empathy. Justice. Ethics – especially toward animals.
🐾 So I began teaching animal ethics in schools, working with students beyond my own classroom to bring those missing pieces into education. But over time, I realized my impact was limited, and I wanted to help more educators do the same.
💡 That’s why I created FaunEdge, to help educators worldwide teach, inspire, and take meaningful action that reflects their values for animals and the planet.
🐿️ These are the tools I wish I had throughout my own journey, from my childhood curiosity about animals, to choosing a meaningful career to help them, to finding ways as a teacher to bring more purpose into my classroom.
✨ I hope you find them helpful and inspiring as you bring more compassion into your own teaching and parenting.
🌱 This is just the beginning, my first step in building a larger movement to transform education and create a more ethical future for all beings.
