Welcome to the Owens
Foundation. Here you will learn about the conservation work of
American zoologists Mark and Delia Owens. Beginning in 1974, Delia and
Mark worked for seven years in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve of
Botswana studying brown hyenas and black maned lions where they made
landmark discoveries regarding both species. From 1985 through 1997 the
Owenses worked to rehabilitate a 5,000 square mile area in north Zambia by
eliminating elephant and meat poaching for the benefit of the people and
the wildlife living there. In 1997, Delia and Mark returned to the US and
began assisting grizzly bear conservation in North Idaho, which is one of
the five remnant grizzly bear populations in the lower 48 states. Today,
Delia and Mark continue their support for the people and wildlife of
Zambia as well as working for grizzly bear conservation in the
northwestern US.
