Saving Wildlife International

Saving Wildlife International, "SWI", is a 501 (C) (3) non-profit conservation organization. Our entertaining and educational shows feature live wild and exotic animals and create an unforgettable experience for schools, clubs, and special events. Environmental education programs are presently performed in Los Angeles, Ventura, and Santa Barbara counties. SWI is committed to educating people of all ages and cultures about the importance of wildlife and the environment. It is Saving Wildlife International's belief that environmental education should be taught in as many contexts as possible, because we are interconnected to the environment every day in everything we do. Our current service is environmental education utilizing live animals (including mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians) and their artifacts. Many children may not have the opportunity to visit a zoo, let alone the wilderness. For them, our live animal presentations could be as close to nature as they are able to get. This is especially true of inner city and disabled children. The animals used in Saving Wildlife International's wildlife education presentations come from a variety of sources including similar rescue and conservation organizations, zoos, government agencies, and as unwanted exotic pets. Our unique ability to travel allows our animals to act as ambassadors for their species and all wildlife. SWI provides a permanent home for many animals whose futures might otherwise be uncertain.

Saving Wildlife International was very fortunate to receive a generous gift of 64 acres, located in the Santa Monica Mountains, just outside of Malibu. This location will permit us to be centrally located within our initial markets. We are presently working with and seeking assistance from the talent of many individuals and institutions both public and private. Once sufficient funds are raised, we will begin construction to provide a permanent home for our animal ambassadors. Future plans for Saving Wildlife International include implementing long term realistic solutions and direct involvement in international conservation. An additional long-range goal of Saving Wildlife International is the creation of a one of a kind interactive conservation park, the core of which will be a museum, unlike any currently in existence. The museum would provide a realistic overview of the relationships among humans, animals, and the environment throughout history.
