The Dancing Star Foundation is a U.S.-based non-profit organization engaged in environmental, cultural and animal welfare activities, including worldwide environmental education, global biodiversity conservation, animal protection, animal welfare, and animal rights.
Some of the various issues with which the Foundation is involved on an ongoing basis—with prominent ecologists, biologists, and other scientists, government officials, artists, museums and educators worldwide—include efforts in the arenas of ecological restoration; sustainability and non-violence, animal protection, spiritual ecologies, deep ecology, large-scale habitat protection, protection of endangered species, and ongoing education via the media of filmmaking and publishing, lectures and symposia. Her Majesty the Queen of Bhutan, Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck has described their efforts as being "invaluable for policymakers and scientists . . . (and) inspiration for the next generation of young ecologists wanting to make a difference in the world."
