Stefanie Powers shares her reaction following special wildlife honour

Stefanie Powers got ‘thrilled’ after a wildlife honour.

The veteran actress who was honored, this year as The Thalians‘ Ms. Wonderful due to her support for the William Holden Wildlife Foundation, expressed her gratitude in an interview with People Magazine.

“It means a great deal to be honored by this wonderful organization because they are such an institution that is part of the industry that I’m so grateful to,” the actress said.

“I’m thrilled, happy, and I thank all of the ones I knew in their memory who are not with us anymore,” she added.

However, her love for wildlife protection remains a driving force in her career, as Stefanie shared, “Wildlife conservation is not just an essential part of the mechanism that allows us to have life on this planet, but is unfortunately not in its greatest moment. It’s not getting support from the generations that should be supporting it. People all think of themselves as conservationists, but they don’t do anything about it.”

She went on to explain, “Most of us who work in wildlife conservation very heavily are rather disappointed with the young that we had hoped would be the standard-bearers of conservation going forward, and they don’t seem to be interested. I would think and hope that better hands than ours will take over and bring us to our senses about the life force that allows us to breathe on this planet.”

“The work itself is rewarding and continually interesting and we have great support where we are. But it’s the support behind the scenes, it’s the support from our own people, our own country and those who should be concerned about the future of their planet, that we’re not getting. It’s my hope that people will wake up. If they don’t do it, who will?” the Hart to Hart actress added further.
