Rowland Ward Foundation

06/08/2026

At the heart of Rowland Ward’s mission is a deep commitment to community-based conservation. 🌍 Our programs are built on a simple but powerful belief: conservation and cultural heritage flourish when local communities are heard, respected, and supported.

At first glance, it may seem unusual for a wildlife conservation foundation to place people at the center of its work. But in many parts of Africa and Asia, the future of wildlife is inseparably connected to the people who share the land.

Lasting conservation happens when local communities understand the value of protecting wildlife, benefit from its preservation, and become active partners in safeguarding it for future generations. By supporting people, we help create a future where both communities and wildlife can thrive together.

Conservation is not just about protecting animals — it’s about preserving the balance between people, culture, and the natural world.

For more than 130 years, Rowland Ward's Records of Big Game has been recognized as the global standard for measuring trophy animals and promoting ethical fair-chase hunting.

More than just a record book, it celebrates the animal, supports conservation, and honors the traditions of responsible hunting around the world.

The Rowland Ward Foundation is proud to support the Driftwood Outdoor & Guide Business Apprenticeship Program — an inspiring initiative creating life-changing opportunities for Indigenous students through culture, education, leadership, and outdoor experiences.

We are especially excited to announce that in 2026, the Foundation will proudly support both the boys and girls apprenticeship programs, helping even more young leaders gain valuable skills, confidence, and opportunities for the future.
Investing in youth means investing in stronger communities, cultural preservation, and the next generation of outdoor and conservation leaders.
