The way that Powers lives now is something else again, of course. If she isn’t physically in her beloved Kenya, she’s there in spirit. Besides running the foundation, she is director of the Mount Kenya Game Ranch, which Holden co- founded. She also serves on the advisory board of three major zoos, created the Jag- uar Conservation Trust for Jaguar Cars North America, and serves as an interna- tional speaker on wildlife preservation. Powers has nine dogs – five at her Los Angeles home, four in Africa – and 21
horses at her North Kenyan ranch. Oh, and a Yellow-Naped Amazon Parrot, which she’s had for 36 years. What can we tell you, the lady digs
animals. “Animals, I find, are very easy to love
and be friends with,” Powers stresses. “I don’t need to go onto Facebook and pre- tend to have friends I’ve never even met. To my mind, that kind of destroys the meaning of the word ‘friend.’ I take exception to that. Because I value and re- spect friendship.”
Beyond that, Powers finds that it’s her
four-legged friends who need her the most. “The wild horses of America continue
to be slaughtered,” Powers says. “We have plenty of meat without them. They don’t need to be destroyed. These animals are as much an iconic image as the bald eagle, and yet we capture them from pub- lic land, remove them, sell them by the pound and slaughter them. It’s the kind of unconscionable destruction that tells me our foundation’s work will never be done.”
