Pioneer in Sustainable Development for Animal Welfare

Anna Izmailova's career is a testament to the power of individual initiative in promoting animal welfare and environmental sustainability. With over 20 years in veterinary medicine, she has dedicated her life to protecting the voiceless and fostering ecological harmony.

As the founder of the veterinary center TOTEM, she built this organization from the ground up, elevating it to a recognized trademark. Her commitment to ethical veterinary practices has positively impacted over 60,000 animals, implementing pioneering diagnostic and treatment methodologies that set new standards in the field.

Anna's revolutionary patented tool and method of ultra-gentle sterilization transformed the routine act of surgical open cavity intervention into a 10-minute cosmetic procedure, relieving over 20,000 animals from pain. As an alloy of ingenious simplicity, ethical considerations, and high surgical safety, her patent is accessible to specialists of all experience levels and financial means, which is crucial for the humane control of stray populations, especially in regions with scarce resources and disadvantaged conditions.

In her role as the founder of AnimalBox Animal Preservation Center, she has personally rehabilitated over 300 animals from more than 30 species.

As a globally minded veterinarian, she implements initiatives covering a wide range of projects aimed at promoting animal welfare and preserving biodiversity across time and geographic boundaries. She is an activist dedicated to the preservation of endangered species, including the critically endangered Far Eastern leopard and rare breeds, such as the American Cream Draft, which now numbers approximately 300 registered representatives.

Besides that, her eco-farming initiatives create ethical environments for productive animals, safeguarding biodiversity and promoting responsible changes in animal husbandry. Through her educational exhibitions with inclusive charity for vulnerable children, she contributed to a healthier societal ecosystem.

Looking ahead, she plans to scale her efforts on international platforms by establishing a charitable NGO in Serbia. Her life’s mission is to redefine the relationship between humanity and the natural world through bold innovations in animal welfare and biodiversity conservation. Each initiative she undertakes is a step towards a sustainable future, where passionate individuals drive profound change. Together, they reshape the planet’s future.
