![]() ![]() ![]() Most Money Goes to Myrtle Beach Safari…Īccording to his website, “ to date, the RSF has contributed more than $1 million (USD) to wildlife initiatives throughout the globe.” First up: supporting grassroots conservation organizations. The mission statement of RSF is “ to enhance wild species populations through the support of grassroots wildlife conservation projects, the maintenance of genetically representative viable populations of captive wildlife and the education of the public about conservation issues through the use of animal ambassadors.” Does Myrtle Beach Safari Support Grassroots Wildlife Conservation Projects? That being said, I investigated Doc Antle’s organization and conservation claims fairly to see if he really does do meaningful conservation work. In fact, they are not even included in the complete list of conservation organizations in the US. The Conservation Careers website made a list of top US Conservation Organizations and none of Doc Antle’s organizations are included. This means that I searched conservation organizations all over the world for funding opportunities. I’ve applied for every conservation grant that I could under the sun to get my various projects funded. ![]() Never once have I heard any of them or anyone in my 17 years in conservation talk about Doc Antle, Myrtle Beach Safari, TIGERS, or RSF. I currently work alongside colleagues from the top conservation organizations in the world: World Wildlife Fund, Wildlife Conservation Society, Conservation International, the Smithsonian, and the Zoological Society of London through Wildlife Insights. Are They the World’s Most Effective Conservation Advocates?īack to his bio: “ He is also the founder of the Rare Species Fund (RSF), a grassroots organization that supports wildlife conservation projects in situ around the globe…The RSF places it among the world’s most effective conservation advocates.” Preserves are areas set aside to protect an area’s natural flora and fauna. Myrtle Beach Safari is not a wildlife preserve. ![]()
