It is a groundbreaking scientific declaration, the New York Declaration on Animal Consciousness, argues that consciousness is likely present in a broader range of animals, including insects, octopuses, crustaceans, and fish. Building on the 2012 Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness, this new statement highlights recent research suggesting that consciousness can exist in diverse brain structures, not just those found in humans.
