Why give to the
Longneck Conservation Foundation?
Longneck Manor has a direct and personal connection to the front line people working to save all these species in the wild. Our Founder, Rick Barongi, has personally visited field sites for every species listed below. In most cases he is not just a colleague but a friend of these field conservation warriors. Rick is also a board member or advisor for many of these species. He knows where the money is going and where it will have the most impact.
Your donation to Longneck Manor helps protect wildlife where it matters most—in their native ecosystems. Every gift fuels our mission to conserve endangered species and their natural habitats.
Your donation will:
- Support innovative conservation initiatives
