Animal welfare organizations are concerned with the health, safety and psychological wellness of individual animals. These organizations include humane societies aiming to reduce farm animal suffering, animal rescue groups and wildlife rehabilitation centers, which care for animals in distress and sanctuaries, where animals are brought to live and be protected for the rest of their lives. Their goals are generally distinct from conservation organizations, which are primarily concerned with the preservation of species, populations, habitats, ecosystems and biodiversity, rather than the welfare of individual animals.
