Embracing Our Role in the Community
At the Wildlife Center, our spirits leap as joyously as the mammals we rescue. We are not just a sanctuary, but a bustling center for community involvement, eco-tourism, education, and volunteer work. Our heartfelt thanks go out to every donor whose kindness propels us toward a more hopeful future.
Our Impact by the Numbers

- A Tourist Haven: Recognized globally, we’ve placed ourselves firmly on the map as a destination that brings joy to visitors and vital tourist dollars to our local area.
- Educational Outreach: Over 250,000 young minds have been ignited with a passion for wildlife, transforming them into ambassadors for nature’s wonders.
- Financial Milestones: With $400,000 raised in 2023, and as we plan for the same this year, we continue to fortify our wildlife rescue mission, compassionate care, and education.
