Our Supporters
On May 22, 2021, after months of preparation and planning, the China Vegan Society celebrated its official launch with a two-day vegan conference and mini-festival in Dali, Yunnan.
Over 150 vegan activists and supporters from across China flew to Yunnan to attend the conference, and dozens more participated remotely from around the world.
We were honored and inspired to receive congratulatory messages from influential vegan practitioners and animal advocates such as Jane Goodall, Peter Singer, Joaquin Phoenix, and more.
We are excited to be a part of this global community and look forward to creating a kinder, healthier, greener world together!
