  The Owens Foundation for Wildlife Conservation

  The Owens Foundation for Wildlife Conservation is a charitable organization which currently sponsors Delia and Mark's North Luangwa Conservation Project in Zambia. The project is attempting to recover North Luangwa Park and the surrounding wilderness areas from commercial poachers by strengthening game guard law enforcement programs, by sponsoring conservation education, and by involving local villagers in benefits from the area's wildlife. The project plans to expand its model programs to protect other endangered habitats and animals in Africa. If you would like to help in this important work, you may make tax-deductible donations to:
