Welcome!

We’ve imagined a world where the boundaries between species don’t exist, where humans and other animals live together as recognised members of a shared community, and where our systems are designed for the flourishing of all sentient beings.

We believe this isn’t a distant utopia but a practical possibility that begins with reimagining what’s possible. The Multispecies Society framework draws a 100-year journey from our current reality to this transformed world, providing hope, inspiration, and strategy for one of humanity’s most important ethical evolutions.

The Framework

The Multispecies Society is a visionary framework and organization dedicated to transforming human relationships with other animals from exploitation to mutual respect and flourishing. It envisions and works toward a society where all sentient beings are recognized as morally significant members of a shared community, with governance, economic, and cultural systems designed to support the wellbeing and autonomy of all species. Through a comprehensive, long-term approach addressing technological, legal, cultural, economic, and psychological dimensions, we have developed a pathway toward a world where humans live in genuine partnership with other animals rather than dominance over them.

The concept represents both an aspirational vision of what society could become and a practical framework for the gradual transformation of our relationships with other species over the next century. It recognizes that meaningful change requires addressing interconnected systems simultaneously while supporting just transitions for communities currently dependent on animal exploitation.

A Multispecies Society

A multispecies society is a form of community and social organization where humans and other sentient beings coexist as recognized members with moral standing, shared spaces, and systems designed for mutual flourishing. In such a society, animals are not viewed primarily as resources or property, but as fellow beings whose interests, needs, and capacities matter in their own right.

Infrastructure, governance, economic systems, and cultural practices are designed to accommodate diverse species, enabling meaningful participation appropriate to different capacities. Relationships between humans and other animals are characterized by respect, care, and reciprocity rather than exploitation, with communication and connection across species boundaries enriching the experience of all participants. The boundaries between human and animal domains gradually dissapear as physical spaces, decision-making processes, and cultural expressions increasingly integrate multiple species in consensual and mutually beneficial ways.

This society represents not merely the absence of animal exploitation but the presence of new forms of relationship and community that acknowledge the unique contributions and requirements of different species while fostering unprecedented opportunities for cooperation, understanding, and shared flourishing.
