Silvano Lieger

Silvano Lieger is Executive Director at Sentience Politics, a political organisation with the goal of carrying the interests of non-human animals into the mainstream of society. The organisation's vision is a society in which non-human animals are protected from suffering as fully as possible. He's currently involved in two different ballot initiatives on a national and cantonal level and frequently engages in international discourse around his topic. Together with his team and external stakeholders from different sectors, Silvano wants to contribute to a systemic change in the food system – working towards a more sustainable system that is good for humans, animals and the planet. He is also a board member of Global Shapers Zurich, a TEDx speaker and a columnist for a national media outlet.
