Pocketwatch Games LLC announced today that it donated 4% of its 2006 income from their title Wildlife Tycoon:Venture Africa to the WILD Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting African wilderness and animal habitats.
“When we released Venture Africa, we made a promise to our customers that we would help to protect the animals that inspired us,” Andy Schatz, CEO and Founder of Pocketwatch Games exclaimed. “I know our donation to The WILD Foundation is working directly to protect the precious animal habitats in Africa.”

Makes me feel better about my videogame addiction. It’s also great to see small companies doing their part. A big Thank You goes out to Pocketwatch games!
