The Mzuri Wildlife Foundation was founded in 1969 in San Francisco to guarantee the continuing vitality of wild game animals and the natural environments in which they live. The foundation was created by noted environmentalists and sportsmen. Over the years, the Mzuri Wildlife Foundation has funded millions of dollars of wildlife conservation projects, in Africa, the western United States, Canada, and throughout the world.
