WILDLIFE CONSERVATION NETWORK:
WCN is one of my favorite wild animal charities because of their unique diversified portfolio approach. Much like a venture capital fund, WCN supports a wide range of incredible conservationists around the world who are saving endangered species and preserving their natural habitats.

I have learned so much about saving animals in the corners of the world by attending WCN’s events – and have even had many up-close meetings with cheetahs and snow leopards thanks to WCN. I hope you can join us at the inspiring, fascinating, and fun Wildlife Conservation Expo Weekend this year.

p.s. Please also check out Amara Conservation in Africa, which helps the local people in Kenya become stewards of the environment through education, animal sanctuaries, anti-poaching patrols, and orphaned lion and leopard rehabilitation. What they say is true, almost all wildlife conservation is local!
