SeaWorld and Busch Gardens Grant $700,000 to Help Protect At-Risk Animals

While the Fund's scope of projects is diverse, it continues to focus its support on core areas of concern: ocean health, human-animal conflict, and the illegal wildlife trade. Examples from the 2009 grant awards include removing derelict fishing gear from Washington state's Puget Sound, helping people co-exist with lions in Tanzania and rescuing and releasing pangolins, one of the most targeted victims of Southeast Asia's illegal wildlife trade. Through projects like these and others, the Fund is working to make a positive difference in the lives of both people and animals.
