Support for Conservation:
Rosetta has donated sculptures to the African Wildlife Foundation, the Cheetah Conservation Fund and the private wildlife preserve, Shambala, for the purpose of fundraising, with only the casting and shipping costs retained by the artist.
Rosetta donates financially often to many conservation and wildlife organizations under her married name, Jan Schockner.
