This page is dedicated to those we meet along the way. Special people and organizations who have proven to us that their efforts are sincere and benefit animals - both in captivity and in the wild... We invite you to visit their sites and encourage you to solicit information about their causes or products. To the best of our knowledge and based upon our experience with them, these people and organizations are real and honest as are their intentions.

Wildlife Conservation Network is dedicated to the support of conservation entrepreneurs who are working actively with local communities to protect endangered flagship species and preserve their natural habitats.
