GOING BACK TO NATURE WITH TANA

Tana Helfer Herbert, a native Californian, began traveling to Africa at the young age of six. Having been born in to the family business, Tana was raised to live, and ultimately work with, 1800 exotic animals, exclusively employing ‘affection training’ techniques— the practice created by the Helfer family that revolutionized the animal industry and was subsequently popularized by the media in the 1960s. Ms. Herbert stepped out of the limelight to concentrate on her family and alternative areas of animal welfare. In 1997 she became the Executive Director of Wildlife Awareness Foundation; in 2000 she conducted a Global Solidarity conference at the United Nations advocating on behalf of animal populations internationally; in 2003 she worked as the Executive Director of the Jane Goodall Institute in Kenya, East Africa, and when time allowed, she acted as a guest lecturer on Animal Behaviorism and Affection Training. Ms. Herbert took part in the International Wildlife Film Festival debate ‘Do Natural History and Wildlife Films Achieve Conservation’, and in 2006 she became the Executive Director for Kenya Water Wells Trust, supporting rural communities suffering drought through the implementation of boreholes. Tana has been working in the safari industry for 30 years and she has been the subject of multiple media publications including compiling the book called "A Safari Guide to Kenya".
