In Africa
Dr. Clark, a passionate wildlife enthusiast, grew up a mere stone's throw away from the magnificent South Luangwa National Park in Zambia. It was here that he would later serve as an operations manager for The Bushcamp Company, a role that would shape his destiny. It was during his time in the park that he crossed paths with Rachel, his now beloved wife. Their shared adoration for the area and its astounding wildlife inspired them to extend their support to two remarkable organizations: The South Luangwa Conservation Society (SLCS) and Chipembele Wildlife Education Trust. These organizations work tirelessly to safeguard and conserve the park's precious wildlife, while also forging meaningful connections with the local communities that envelop the area.
In Florida
The Environmental Learning Center is dedicated to educating and inspiring individuals about the abundant environmental resources that surround us, including the awe-inspiring Indian River Lagoon right at our fingertips. Situated on a sprawling 64-acre property in Wabasso, the center offers an array of offerings for the public, such as nature trails, picnic sites, elevated boardwalks, and an abundance of educational resources. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to collaborate with and serve the ELC.

Vaccine Clinics - Rabies Warriors
Every year, we mobilize resources and volunteers to carry out dog vaccinations in Malawi. Through collaboration with the local government and veterinary facilities, we strive to combat rabies, a neglected tropical disease that claims the lives of 76,000 people worldwide annually. Shockingly, many of these deaths occur in Africa, particularly among children under 15 years old.
With the unwavering support of our local community in Vero Beach, we are able to raise funds that directly contribute to the vaccination of dogs, ultimately protecting humans from this devastating virus.
Our primary fundraising event, known as Rally 4 Rabies, is hosted by The Boulevard Tennis Club. If you are interested in playing, partnering, or simply participating in this enjoyable weekend, please don't hesitate to contact us. The more, the merrier! Thank you.

We are proud supporters of Rabies Free Africa, and for each rabies vaccine administered at our clinic, we donate $1 to this worthy cause. To find out more about the program or make a donation, please visit
