ExpertAdvisors-Elly Hiby

Dr. Elly Hiby is the Director of the International Companion Animal Management (ICAM) Coalition and an independent animal welfare consultant. Her recent work with the ICAM Coalition is focused on affordable and meaningful impact assessment of dog population management interventions.

Previously she worked at Dogs Trust as International Director, and before that, at the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA; now World Animal Protection) for eight years, including leading on the companion animal welfare program and advising on humane dog population management and rabies control internationally. She has also worked as a technical expert with the World Animal Health Organization (OIE), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) on dog population management.

It was through her work with WSPA that she first came into contact with the Alliance for Contraception of Cats and Dogs (ACC&D) and subsequently joined their board of directors, and is now board Chair. The ACC&D works as a catalyst for the successful introduction of methods to non-surgically sterilize dogs and cats.
