Bently Holdings has long been a strong supporter of the Point Reyes Bird Observatory in support of their efforts to study and preserve the animals in and around the Farallon islands. The Point Reyes Bird Observatory, Founded in 1965, is dedicated to conserving birds, other wildlife and ecosystems through innovative scientific research and outreach. Many people may not know about the work of PRBO conservation science and if they do, probably not the extent of work they do. PRBO is involved in studies around the world and sits on one of the most sought after information databases of research information ever accumulated. The research done by PRBO is used by dozens of scientific and government agencies around the globe to determine not only the health of a particular ecosystem and its inhabitants but also what is first and foremost on everyones mind, the effects of Global Warming.

ROAR and Shambala

Published: September 13th, 2007 Filed as: Our Environment, Community support

September 2007 saw the launch of Amber Marie Bently jewelry on Union Square. The best part of the sold out event was that all proceeds and sales went to benefit the ROAR foundation and the Shambala preserve. Good friend Tippi Hedren came to support Amber and educate people on what Tippi does with her ROAR foundation. ROAR is dedicated to saving big game cats (we are talking lions and tigers here folks) who have been subject to abuse, improper care or management and in desperate need of a home. Most of her cats are born in captivity or orphaned and come to her in pretty bad shape. She cares for them and gives them a real home where they can be wild again at the Shambala preserve on her ranch in southern California. It takes $75,000.00 a month to care for her cats so please join the Bently’s in supporting Tippi’s endeavor to love and care for these majestic creatures.
